597.0. "IDC rapport on user satisfaction" by IJSAPL::OLTHOF (Henny Olthof @UTO 838-2021) Fri Mar 16 1990 07:57

    A computer magazine in Holland mentions an IDC rapport where 400 users
    in the US were interviewed about databases.
    
    Sybase was the winner with 48.5 points, second came Oracle with 47.6
    points and 3rd was Rdb with 45.6; DB2 came last with 43.3 points.
    Strong points (according to the users for Oracle were the standard SQL
    support (can you believe this), weak points were support and price.
    
    As this artice was dominant on the front page of the dutch edition of
    Computerworld, I'm interested in the entire rapport.
    Who can provide me with this, please MAIL for details (mailstop etc).
    
    Thanks,
