34.0. "And now Adabas!" by TSG::QIDWAI (Hmm! What do they know that I dont) Tue Oct 06 1987 16:44

    
    What is this with Adabas building a DSRI interface and the talk about
    a CMP agreement between Digital and Software AG, the builders of
    Adabas and Natural (Digital Review front page - Sep 28, 1987)? What
    will Digital buy with a CMP with Software AG? Is this even a reality
    or just speculation by DR?

    Digital already has an agreement with Ingres for use under Ultrix.

    What does all this mean to Digital's support for its own products?
    
    Finally, is this note appropriate for this file or do we need a new
    RelationalDB_CMP notesfile?

      The CMP agreement, as I understand it, would only cover
    Natural 2, not Adabas. It would be nice in situations where customers
    have Adabas and Rdb (it would give them common access through one
    language interface), or where customers like Natural, but don't
    want the complexity and expense of Adabas. It will amount to just
    another 4GL interface with Rdb.

    	ADABAS is running under RSX-11 and since early 1984 on VMS in
    	native mode. ADABAS is not yet running on ULTRIX; and as far
    	I know, there are currently no plans form Software AG. to implement
    	it on ULTRIX.

    Last month SAG announced Natural for Rdb and RMS. They say it should be
    available early in 1990.
