218.0. "Portability Issues" by BELFST::MILLING (Paul Milling, SWAS Belfast) Fri Oct 14 1988 22:24

    Our Government Sector salesmen are coming under increasing pressure
    from UK Government policies which promote adoption of standards
    such as UNIX, POSIX (if theres is such a thing) etc., which ultimately
    enables  'hardware vendor independence' - and I believe in the
    tooth fairy too!!   This of course gives ORACLE a field day in
    Government Departments and makes our job of promoting our excellent
    database products very difficult.  Has anyone out there encountered
    this 'standards' and 'portability' issue before and managed to win?
    If so, please let me have your arguments as I'm afraid to say that we're
    beginning to run short - but we're not giving up yet!!
    
    Many thanks in advance
