Although I've seen smatterings of my upcoming request around this
conference, I haven't found anything really comprehensive...
Does anyone have a list or writeup of ORACLE-PC knockoffs and
advantages? I've got a great opportunity coming up, and would
like to knock them down early.
Thanks,
Bob H

Is your strategy to convice the customer they don't want a db on a PC,
or that they should look at another one, e.g., INGRES? Or, to convice
them to go the SQL Services route? I have some info on Oracle's PC
products, including their LANServer product to connect the PCs.
I'd be glad to send it to you, but it is primarily informational; it
does not compare PC-Oracle with any other PC database.
But we're getting PC Oracle here, soon, so we may have more information
in a few weeks.

re .0
My understanding is that ORACLE PC is an ORACLE V5.0 product and
ORACLE currently have no plans to update it to V6.0. This means
that if the PC is running an ORACLE db and the VAX has ORACLE on
it, the only way they will communicate properly is if the VAX remains
at version V5.0 of ORACLE.
ORACLE has been saying how superior their V6.0 product is, but if
the customer wants to use PC's they can not use any of the new
features. Try again Mr ORACLE !!!
I have also heard a roumor that ORACLE's SQl*Forms for the PC is
not compatible with the V3 SQL*Forms product on the VAX. Can anyone
verify this?

| 496.3 | ORACLE PC incompatibilities - TRUE or FALSE | TRCO01::MCMULLEN | Mon Jan 15 1990 15:03 | 7 | |
Has anyone been able to verify the previous replies statements about
ORACLE V5.0? Is it true the PC ORACLE will not be able to communicate
with V6.0 of ORACLE? How about the SQL*Forms incompatibilities -
true or false?

ORACLE says, V5 PC ORACLE will talk to V6 ORACLE via SQLNET. We
tried to order V6 of PC ORACLE and they shipped us V5.1. They did
mention that between those versions, not all the tools are compatible.
(this probably didn't help you much did it....)
