Their is now a new conference on BISTRO::RALLY_COMPETITION to relieve this conference of some of the RALLY specific information. Richard

Richard, I can't see the need for yet another notes file. Won't this new notes file contain lots of information thats relevent here; for example where would I now look for say Oracle or Ingres data -- they are both competion for Rdb/VMS & Rally. |SRP| | |||||

I think the new conference is a good idea. Since most 4GL's are evolving to support a number of different databases. In sales situations the driving factor can be either the database or the development tools. True, most 4GL's are tied to a particular database. But that situation is rapidly changing. Just as DB2 now supports a great variety of development environments layered on it, Rdb is becoming a VAX version of that scenario. Maybe the whole thing (Rally competition & Rdb competition) should be renamed to Competitive_database_4GL. ---- Michael Booth |
