Today, however, many accounting vendors have engineered their applications to accommodate a variety of database engines - a major advantage for the user. Select the database that matches the user's unique needs, and not only can it save lots of money but also the accounting package can run faster and better - even allowing it to be scaled up as the business grows. As a result, it's now imperative that prospective buyers give careful consideration to database selection, which depends mostly on the volume of transactions processed across an organization's local or wide area network (LAN or WAN). In general, the more transactions, the more robust the database needs to be and the higher its cost in terms of purchase price, implementation and maintenance. Exhibit 1 summarizes this information for some of the more popular databases. What gave users the flexibility to select a database application was the decision by most top accounting software vendors to separate the so - called business logic part of their programs from the underlying database. For example, Great Plains sells its standard version of Dynamics, which runs on either the Btrieve or C / tree database, for the average retail price of $5,000; the higher end version, Dy namics C / S+, operates with the Microsoft SQL Server database and sells for about $50,000. The two accounting programs share similar programming code; however, the underlying database used in Dynamics C / S+ is far more powerful - accounting for the higher cost of the system.
