Our experience shows that a few vendors deploy Data Servers to add MS SQL Server as the back end to their OE application. At a corporate level for the VAR, this requires a number of modifications and enhancements to their coding practices to make the SQL Server side more performant. The two databases operate best under different conditions. I know that in the past, there were some sessions at the various PUG Challenge/Developer World/Tech World/ Road Show events that described the important minutia. Once implemented, the VARs then have the option to sell their applications with either back end. One that I know, sets their pricing to include the OE front and back end bits. If the customer selects MS SQL Server, then that gets added to the quote. No discount is given for the unused OE Database licensing. Seems some customers are willing to pay a premium to run on MS SQl Server. We also have a few end customers that use DS as integration tools. They pull or push OE, SQl Server and Oracle based data around. These are mostly one offs and home grown systems. Bob Brennan
