If you would like to use your database for chemical structural searches,
and for being able to search molecular properties and setup structure-
activity relationships, I would recommend the product, ISIS, sold by MDL
(Contact Randy Helmonds 510-895-1313). There is a version available for
both the Mac and the PC. There is also a chemical draw program associated
with the database for creating your own structures for import. They have a
demo disk available which is a real working copy of the program minus the
ability to print and save. There is another chemical database available
from CHemical Design Inc. (201-529-3323) called ChemX. If you are
interested in structurally oriented relational databases, I think these
products will be more suited to your application than Oracle (which is not
structurally/graphically oriented).
