Well for starters you should look up their web site & see if you
can find the documentation for the dbms. Most companies are doing that
now as it is economical & allows for easy comparison. In marketing
terms weeding out the looky loos. Second I'd try to figure out how much
code/application re-write would be needed to make the move. I was
involved in a project that moved data from Oracle into PostGreSql (Yes I
know it's not the same as Progress). The application was a 40% re-write
due to differences between the two. Assuming that your company can
tolerate that try to download a demo copy of the software & do a proof
of concept project on it. Something that is low cost, lower expectancy,
and easily tossed in the trash if it fails. You'll get a lot more
information out of that little skunk works project than you could ever
imagine & consequently a good feel for what the larger project will
entail. Also, while your at it, introduce that little skunk into the
rest of your infrastructure, BI tools, etc... To see how well this new
dbms will integrate. That could become the straw that breaks the
camel's back.
