| Oracle has "promised" that their database will run on AS/400 within
about 18 months. Of course, the "promises" were made to individual
customers.
There is currently no third party database for AS/400.

| What IBM database(s) do run on the AS/400 then? We are replying
to an RFP and the AS/400 is the only competition.
Any information would be most helpful.
thanks in advance,

| Correct me if you wish but:
the AS/400 seems to be a second generation System 38. It has an
operating system with an integrated database management system. The 38
called it CPF, it think the as/400 calls it OS/400. I do not know of
ANY 3rd party DB on the machine. 3rd party 4GLS are a different story.
I do not believe that their SQL implementation is close to the standard
nor close to those of SQL/ds or DB2. I do not believe they offer
referential integrity in their DB nor many pieces of functionality
people might look at.
You might also look in KACIE::IBM

The AS/400 native db does offer referential integrity as an option
that you can turn on if you wish (I think). You can also turn
recovery features on and off (journaling, etc.). However, most shops
run with the journalling off, since the performance hit that it
causes makes response unacceptable in a production environment. If
you browse this conference you'll find trade rag story about it
which was reprinted in VNS.

| I subscribe to News 3x/400 and there was an article in their on SQL/400
that described how far it was off from the current SQL standard. If
you want a copy of this, send me Email and I'll try to find it next
week.
Be aware, that all of the Rpg and Cobol programs that run on the AS/400
use the database. Basically, there is no such thing as a flat file...
they are all tables on this machine. I worked in the S/34-36 arena
during the time when the s/38 was introduced. In my opinion, not many
of these people could/would use SQL as an interface after having years
of experience without SQL. Also, keep in mind that these are the
people who are developing for AS/400 so I'm not sure how widely SQL/400
is being used.
