- hi netland!
-
- This is a request for information on the following 3 databases
- Oracle, Ingres and Sybase.
-
- We (a local body) work on a 90 VUP VAX cluster of 6 machines and several DECStations
- and about a 100Pcs using Pathworks to connect to the cluster and about
- a 1000 terminals (500 users logged on at any one time). We use VMS
- primarily and there is no plan to move to another platform in the
- near future but would still like our chosen database to be portable.
-
- We are starting on a comparative study of these 3 databases (or if someone
- can suggest some other one eg Progress, Recital etc) and would like
- some experiences of people in the netland. We would like information on
-
- - Performance
- - Development tools availability (vendor provided and 3rd party)
- - Multi-database access from within applications
- - a good API for use in GIS systems to get at the data from a C application
- - data types and flexibility in defining and using new ones
-
- Any help will be very useful and will make our task seem a bit easier. We have
- until 15th October to submit our report so quick help will be very much
- appreciated.
