It has been a long time since we addressed this subject on our website. We posted a database white paper after Sage MAS 200 for SQL was first introduced. There had been much interest in a SQL version of MAS 200 ever since SQL had become a popular technical buzzword and a "de facto" requirement for modern software. But few prospective users understood the trade-offs between SQL and the C-ISAM database intrinsic to the standard version.

I found an article today about Carbonite, an online backup service, that is suing their supplier, Promise, due to a product that they bought that didn't work. Too bad this supplier wasn't for a door that was not closing properly. Instead they were the supplier for a RAID system that would guarantee that the backups they have would be available in case of failure. The company (Carbonite) lost 7,500 customers data when drives did fail. I would not want to be one of those customers trusting an outside source to manage my data.
