401.0. "Rdb and MAC/4th Dimension" by SRFSUP::BREWIS () Mon Aug 14 1989 23:54

I am trying to identify if there are any referenceable or unreferenceable 
customers out there who are programming applications on MACintosh PCs and 
accessing Rdb on a VAX.  My customer is 50% leaning towards an implementation
of this sort and is looking for some acknowledgement that they are doing the
right thing to push them over the top. (Sybase and Oracle are deep within the
account and are poised to swing the customer the other way because they claim
to have PC solutions already in place.)

The customer ideally would like a reference site that is using 4th Dimension on
the MAC for application development with calls to Rdb on the VAX.  The 
application requires read/write capability from/to Rdb.

Please let me know if there is anyone out there doing something like this or
similar.  References with SequeLink, CL1, or others are welcome as well.

Thank you,

Rick

401.1Maybe SQl/Services could fit ???SNO78C::BELAKHOVOh, my god, it's full of stars.Tue Aug 15 1989 02:2514

    Digital has a product called SQL/Services which allows access to
    Rdb/VMS databases from MS-DOS and ULTRIX.  The notes file is on
    NOVA::SQL_SERVICES.
    
    Although the product currently only supports MS-DOS and ULTRIX,
    I think it would be worth your while to contact Deb Wasserman who
    is the product manager, she may just have some good news for you.  As
    you know product futures discussions are not allowed in public notes
    files (:-). 
    
    Good Luck,
    Michael
