237.0. "RDB Nitty-Gritty RFP Questions" by TRCA03::TOYONAGA () Wed Nov 02 1988 22:17

    I'm having a problem locating the answers to a long list of detailed 
    RDB/VMS questions for a government RFP, such as: "maximum number of 
    tables for view, join, project, union, intersect, append, and maximum 
    number of open data files", "maximum number of indexes and compound 
    indexes", "types of sorts and number of fields", "data types with
    ranges (eg. date, time, currency, boolean)", etc, etc, etc.  After 
    searching the RDB_VMS_COMPETITION and RDB_OLD conferences, the
    PROPOS:: Infobase,  SPD's, 16-Jun-88 Buffer articles, DECtp seminar 
    stuff, and conferring with local and regional specialists, I still
    have lots of un-answered questions.  Other than going through the 
    entire RDB doc'n set, is there any condensed source for this sort
    of information?  Perhaps someone has a similar proposal that could be 
    shared in this conference?
                                     
    Thanks in Advance,

237.1	DECtp Buffer Supplement	SNOC01::BRIFFA	DECtp Software Down Under	`Wed Nov 02 1988 22:55`	7
	Have you read the DECtp Buffer Supplement (August 1988)? Chapter 4, "VAX RDB/VMS VERSION 3.0 - THE UNTOLD STORY" contains heaps of tables such as Database Parameters. Regards, Mark
237.2	Please send your completed RFPs	DEBIT::DREYFUS		`Tue Dec 13 1988 19:47`	8
	If you readers of this notes file can forward me copies of completed RFPs (and even uncompleted ones), I will compile the answers and redistribute the composite. I will also search out the incomplete answers to make this task easier in the future. --david dreyfus DBS competitive marketing
237.3	Oh, David, PLEASE!!	SNOC01::ANDERSONK	My DEBIT/CREDIT performance is lousy	`Wed Dec 14 1988 04:45`	11
	We make a practice of referring constantly to sections, chapters, tables, figures etc in the appropriate documentation, hence encouraging reviewers of RFP responses to read the info in context. Please do likewise in your composite (I'll send you some stuff to start you off on DBA slanted issues), and work with the documentation writers so you can keep the documentation pointers up to date. Keith PS: I find the new Guide to Maintenance and Performance is excellent, and it looks like it is going to get even better! Thanks, Rod et al.
