| I don't think there is a "safe" third party database. However,
InterBase would be third party but DSRI compliant. That would open
up the toolset issue. You might double-check to see if the issue
is really a third party database engine. Many people think they
have to buy a different database to get a different application
development toolset.

| 60.2 | see rdb note 442 | COP01::OLESEN | Good Cooking Takes Time | Fri Dec 18 1987 11:59 | 14 |
| - rdb performance on a 3600: take a look at note 442 in the rdb-notes
- 'alternatives' to Rdb: try by all means to stay with Rdb, even
if other development tools could be the solution.
The database-system gives account-control !!
(how often in the life-time of an installation will it be
possible to select another database-system ? It is much
more likely to select alternative development tools for
'the next application to be developed' but the dbms usage
will be hard to change.
good luck - the 3600 really is a nice box.

| 60.3 | Why do they want an alternative? | DEBIT::BERENSON | Rdb/VMS - Number ONE on VAX | Mon Dec 21 1987 17:27 | 8 |
| What kind of answer do you want: one that provides a good alternative
to Rdb/VMS or one that will assure they pick Rdb/VMS instead? Why do
they want an alternative? What is their application like?

Ps: The only thing I would 100% avoid is ORACLE, where the company
rather than the product it sells is an issue.
