| 131.1 | Another plea for a DSRI/CLI interface | WARMTH::JACKSON | Tony Jackson (WARDER::JACKSONT) | Wed May 11 1988 12:35 | 36 |
| Scott,
I have nothing very constructive to offer you except to say that
you are not alone in this situation ! Specific answers :-
> 1) DEC products which interface with a Teradata system
Until someone finds the funding to produce some kind of DSRI/CLI
interface we cannot easily interface our products to the Teradata.
The DBC uses an SQL level interface to the host systems.
> 2) Any experiences with Teradata in a DEC environment
We have outline agreement with Teradata and a customer with
some large VAXclusters and Amdahls to perform some trials to
see how well the DEC/Teradata interfaces work. It will be some
time before this actually gets done.
> 3) Suggestions on how to talk Liberty out of this strategy
Search me ! Can you suggest anything else that can allow
simultaneous access from IBM/DEC/etc to a relational database
that can perform searches at up to 500,000 rows per second ?
It's a very hard act to follow.
> The current direction for the DEC platform appears to be FOCUS as
> the 4GL and TCP/IP as the protocol between DEC and Teradata.
Look on the bright side ! Teradata does allow VAX access. FOCUS
is a very popular 4GL and the TCP/IP protocol is a lot faster than
the ISO/OSI alternative. What we really need is a DSRI interface,
just think of the possibilities... Let's keep asking and maybe someone
will come up with a VIDA with TERADATA (or whatever) type product.
Good luck.

| 131.2 | Potential interface development | LOMBRD::BARTON_LA | | Fri Jun 03 1988 02:43 | 17 |
| I am still working with TERADATA, trying to put together a VAX/TERADATA
pilot for the State of California.
We are looking at two possible alternatives for a 4GL type interface.
1. TERADATA may be interested in funding a DSRI interface if we
can come up with a reasonable estimate for developing such an animal.
The agreement they had in the works apparently fell apart.
2. FOCUS is currently reviewing the feasibility of porting their
existing IBM interface product to VAX/VMS. As far as I know this
is an intial investigation being conducted by a local FOCUS
representative, so I don't know how viable this is.
I'd be glad to exchange contact names and more detailed information
if anyone would like. Lauren (916) 361-6524.

| 131.3 | More TERADATA interest??? | LOMBRD::BARTON_LA | | Thu Jun 09 1988 00:40 | 19 |
| I just had a meeting with Teradata. They have been working closely
with FOCUS, and have been told that FOCUS is planning to have a
DEC/TERADATA interface ready sometime in Q3/88 Sep Octi timeframe
seems likely. We have scheduled a meeting with FOCUS to discuss
how "real" this product is and how likely the timeframe.
According to TERADATA, FOCUS could move up the development schedule,
and potentially have something available sooner IF there was a good
business reason to do so.
The question...
Does anyone out there have a customer who may be interested in
pursueing a DEC/TERADATA interface? Would this customer be interested
if the interface was FOCUS? Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks Lauren
