In my opinion Oracle is a better choice than Informix for your project. Oracle
is the most widely used database in the biotech/pharma industries. Also,
Oracle is the No. 1 database company, and its tools are more polished than its
competitors' tools.
If you are interested in object features, try experimenting with the
object-relational features of Oracle 8.
