Abstract
This stuy surveyed database developers and administrators to evaluate existing DBMS products and identify the features that are most important to them. Oracle and IBM DB2 were rated higher than other competing products from a feature standpoint. Paradox was rated above other PC database tools. The most important features desired by users across all levels were the quality of the database engine and overall query performance - particularly on complex queries. Database products that did not exhibit a strong distributed database capability tended to be downgraded. Respondents also appear to want more sophisticated report and form tools.
