Hey all, I am hoping that some of you great database minds out there
will be able to lend me a hand on this one.

Which of the following would be better suited for a simple database (1
table) with around a 1/2 to 1 million rows. That would receive 100 to
500 transactions per a minute.

the two choices here are 

Oracle 8 on a Sun box ($100,000 - $150,000)
or 
Informix 9.2 on a Linux/Intel ($50,000)


All of the load on the database will come from simple web queries, and
updates.



Thanks,
--
