User Testimonials
	Oracle Berkeley DB	IBM IMS
Likelihood to Recommend	Oracle No answers on this topic	IBM We have built a database of a network of bank branches with all the needs of security and recovery/restart. It requires knowledge of obsolete maintenance languages and perhaps it is too rigid in the schemes. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
