- We write a lot of Embedded SQL applications in C to run on ORACLE on
- our mainframe at HQ. We are looking into running some of these applications on
- customer sites. Ideally, we need a very low (ideally zero) maintenance DBMS
- to support these applications at these sites. Can anybody recommend any
- packages or vendors?
-
- Again, the operative requirement is LOW-MAINTENANCE. We cannot have a DBA
- per customer installation.
-
- We may also be able to get by with some file-system access packages (as opposed
- to a full-fledged DBMS) but we need a SQL interface (ideally something similar
- to ORACLE SQL) for application portability.
-
- Can anybody out there provide any leads/references? Also, actual experience
- reports would be invaluable.
-
- I'll post a summary if there is enough of a response. Thanks
