| > (2) Do the 4GL tools run on RDB and if so how do they talk to RDB
INFORMIX does NOT supply their own database system on VMS, they use Rdb/VMS!
I assume they talk to Rdb through dynamic-SQL, but can't remember for sure.
> (3) Does it run on both Ultrix and VMS ?
On Ultrix you can buy the INFORMIX tools which come with a not very
sophisticated database system. Or, you can add INFORMIX TURBO which is
a modern high performance database system that also works with all their
tools. As for VMS, see above.
> (4) Anything else ?
We talked to INFORMIX about using their technology for the upcoming
(program announced) DEC database software for Ultrix. The technology
looked good and the people were a delight to deal with. I wouldn't
hesitate to deal with them in the future.

Do you mean that Informix dbms is not available (can't run) on VMS ?

| Informix does have a VMS database. But it is very poor, and they are
becoming a tools company. Consequently, they should be content with
selling their tools on Rdb.

Thanks Michael,
that you know, would it be possible and realistic a solution
ACMS/Informix ? And if so, what would the problems be ?
I'm just getting ready for a technical talk that I'm going to have
with an almost-customer who is used to Informix...and would like to
try ACMS. Of course I'll try suggesting a better dbms...Rdb, but just
in case....

| 381.5 | Maybe | CLYPPR::BOOTH | What am I?...An Oracle? | Thu Oct 26 1989 21:01 | 9 |
| The question is, can the Informix precompilers and/or development tools
properly interface with ACMS. I don't know.
---- Michael Booth
P.S.
Since Informix-4GL is compiled, it may well be feasible to do
Informix/ACMS.

| 381.6 | Informix customers => Rdb/VMS Customers | COOKIE::BERENSON | I'm the NRA | Fri Oct 27 1989 01:47 | 3 |
| Informix came out with a rdbms on VMS and then decided to can it and go
with Rdb/VMS. All Informix customers are supposed to receive a copy of
Rdb/VMS as part of this.
