22.0. "INGRESS,ORACLE,ULTRA info needed" by SAC::SNYDER (Joan Snyder SAC - Basingstoke) Thu Aug 13 1987 12:50

    I have been requested to provide some advice and guidance 
    on the relative attributes of some of the relational databases 
    running under VMS, specifically INGRESS, ORACLE, ULTRA and Rdb.
    
    The types of areas we are to look at are
    
    - data consistancy
    - response times
    - test/development environment
    - security
    - multi-access
    - support
    - multi-vendor capability
    - 4GLs
    - SQL
    - etc
    
    but the time scales are very short ie end of Aug! and hence the
    customer is not expecting in depth responses.
    
    Has anyone out there gone through a similar exercise or knows of
    any relevant articles I could use - and/or could provide any
    contact names who could help with information on the third party
    products.

    Waiting in hope.
    
    Joan.

22.1RDB_OLD provides some helpBISTRO::ROWLANDSFri Aug 21 1987 11:366
    Note 600.4 in the BANZAI::RDB_OLD conference provides some of the
    information which you require, but NOTE that this was a benchmark
    involving RDB V2.0. Note 1116 of the same conference give the 
    up-to-date 2.2 figures for (I believe) the same tests.
