- I am new to Ingres. Our system is Ultrix v4.2 on VAX 11/785.
- We have on our system Ingres version 7.1 which must have been installed
- while we were under Ultrix 2.0. I understand that we use Ingres only for
- the purpose of exposing the students to QUEL. I believe QUEL is the
- query language used in Ingres. We do not use the SQL that comes with
- Ultrix 4.2.
-
- I am looking into the feasability of migrating from VAX 11/785 to a
- DECSystem 5000/240 with Ultrix 4.2A. One of the considerations is
- that students should be able to use Ingres(with QUEL) on the new machine.
- I believe the current version of Ingres is 8.9. Has anybody running this
- on DECSystem 5000/240? Anyone know of any problems compiling Ingres
- V8.9 on this machine?
-
- Also, can any one confirm that QUEL is the language that is used in
- Ingres V8.9?
-
- I will be grateful for any of your suggestions/comments/advice.
-
- Thanking you in advance,
