Paul,

All of the vendors below offer their products on Windows and have for a long
time. Windows 7 is not a server so I would normally not expect a DBMS there
except for lite versions. Certainly the DBMS vendors offer their wares on
Windows Server line and traditionally have supported the desktop versions as
well. Windows 7 is probably forthcoming but may not be there as of yet since
it was just released a few months ago.

I have also seen very large booths from IBM and Oracle at the Microsoft
conferences so they not only support them but sell their wares to that
crowd. They also have deep integration with .NET for Windows development.

Jack,
What do you expect SAS to do in terms of supporting SAS/Access to DB2,
Oracle, or Teradata under Windows? Methinks this
note  http://support.sas.com/kb/38/128.html simply reflects the obvious fact
that all major database vendors consider Windows as an OS woefully
inadequate as a platform for their products and therefore never offer them
on anything but UNIX and z/OS. SAS offers SAS/Access support to all of them
on all platforms where they exist.
Kind regards-------------------Paul DorfmanJax, FL-------------------

SAS doesn't support DB2, Oracle, or Teradata in 9.2 under Windows 7?  Seems
like a major omission.
