I have a customer who has a lot of micro vaxes and Oracle. One of
their staff has got an assignment - "Does oracle run under Ultrix
- if so, is the work to be done converting VMS Oracle sytems to
Ultrix Oracle systems a) Easy b) Do-able c) Enormous ?"
(In the end, we wish this customer to switch from Oracle to Rdb
- but the customer has a lot of applications alredy written in Oracle
- however, as Oracle claims that it is SQL compatible, I wonder
what the effort to change from Oracle to Rdb is ? - has anybody
any experience/pointers - references would also be nice).

Hi Jon, I looked into this a while ago. There are a lot of other issues besides the SQL issue that complicates the conversion. ORACLE has a lot of "extended" commands that must be dealt with. Also, ORACLE has their own security. They are not integrated into VMS security like RDB is. So in ORACLE, you need to login to the database. Other issues are ORACLE's PRO*C vs VAX C... todd | |||||
