I blame interbase because a electricity crash its not client fault.
InterBase is extremely tolerant of power failures. But only if forced writes
is turned on. If forced writes is on, then committed transactions will in
most cases be written to the HD. Incomplete transactions will be rolled back
when power is restored. that is an incomplete description of how it works.
See the docs, faqs and TIs for more information.
Also, if the client's data is important to them, they should have a UPS.
Power failures are a fact of life here in the USA (lightning strikes, wind
storms, and grid failures). A UPS will usually cover situations where part
of a committed transaction is written when the power fails.

i never heard about a oracle db corruption using win98.
Oracle 10g requires: "Windows 2000 with service pack 1 or higher or Windows
Server 2003".

Sorry, why are asking that(mexico location).
I asked only because as the North American economies become more integrated,
there are more opportunities for North Americans to work together. For
example, my company uses contract developers based in Canada. Canadian
developers sell apps in the USA. Many US companies focus on Spanish-speaking
markets. Developers based in Mexico have a market for their apps in the USA,
and vice versa. There are opportunities to work together.
