wondering what kind of databases the federal govt and states use

[kermalou]

to keep track of taxes and the like,

think of it, there has to be ~200 million users...

 

[Goosemaster]

Access

 

[yllus]

Flat files

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Paper and Pencil

 

[StageLeft]

Probably Oracle.

 

[Utterman]

Who needs a database when you got excel spreadsheets with multiple sheets?

 

[Bassyhead]

probably dice, i dunno

 

[kermalou]

i am really thinking about it,

they need to be able to match up 1099 information from banks and taxpayer's, that in itself is a bitch.

probably different regions have different databases or something like that.

imagine being the IT guy there...

One that has lots of nice looking GUI, moving pictures, big huge logos and writing, and that can be accessed with a simple password.
