I could use more clarification on this one.
I need two things…if one database fits for both great, but if not then I can switch. I need to finish a demo in 6 weeks but for the final application I have much more time to work with.
The database I need this for has these requirements:
1. Must execute in real time
2. Must be able to handle large data transfers and provide quick query results no more than a second, preferably less
3. Maximum multi-users will be about 15
4. Closed network - that is not web-based
5. Must be fault tolerant
6. Must be commercially supported
7. Money not an issue but inexpensive is a big plus
8. Must work with Unix and Windows
For a front-end application, I was considering Access only because it supports rapid development and allows for easy change of the GUI forms...etc...but am unsure of the robustness of VB. There has been talk about using Visual C++ and they want to create small programs/libraries to interface with the database.
They do seem intent on using Access as a front-end.
Any help much appreciated!
