: : Hi Everyone,
: : I'm going to be setting up a database for a small number of users very soon, and I'm in the planning phase of this project. I'm trying to decide whether to use Oracle-what version, or Access. Our institution supports both Access and Oracle, and the dbase could potentially be very large. I would like to go with Oracle, but need to present a case to my group for that. Has anyone ever heard of Axis Clinical Software?-that's one software package one of the physicians recommends. I'm doing research right now to compare the limitations/restrictions of Access vs. Oracle will need to make a decision fairly soon. Thanks very much for your help.

: to be quite honest there is no comparison between Oracle and Access.. Oracle is the RDBMS to use..
: there are may advantages of using Oracle.
: i.e
: Manageabilty
: Security
: Portability
: Easier to Maintain and Monitor
: Oracle can easily adapt to Growth ..
: Portability... i.e you cn take a copy of the database for example from Unix to Windows98's Personnel Oracle.
: and the main thing would be PERFORMANCE... without no question.
: Access will panic if i.e more than 5 users accessing the RDBMS
: NT or windows98/2000.
: My recommendation is ORACLE.. on Unix not NT or Windows98...
: I hope this helps
