| No, Oracle does not run on AS/400. They "promised" to have a version
available "within 12 months". What I don't know is why. Why would
anyone with an AS/400, with a builtin database and thousands of
applications that tie to it, with future SAA connectivity promised by
IBM, want to invest in Oracle, with no applications and no SAA
connectivity. I can't understand this. Anyway, for now the Oracle
AS/400 market share is 0%.

| 606.3 | No Oracle on AS/400 ... yet | MAIL::DUNCANG | Gerry Duncan @KCO - DTN 452-3445 | Fri Apr 06 1990 21:01 | 11 |
| About a year ago an Oracle pre-sales person told me they were going to
port as soon as IBM delivered a C compiler for AS/400. I've kinda'
lost track of the AS/400 announcements and don't know if they ever
announced a C compiler or not.
I would agree with Mike and add that Oracle understands (as we do) that
IBM's strategy is OS/2 and MVS.

| Thanks Mike the info was very timely.
I also talked to Oracle and no they do not have an AS/400 version. The story
was next 6 months! The plans were tools to run on the AS/400 with
the engine residing on the IBM's new RISC machines.
My question here had to do a customer who has Oracle on a VAX and
"Because the VAX is not optimized for Oracle" was considering as an
alternative, AS/400. The sales rep, as you can imagine was rather
concerned.
Glad to say, the customer is no longer considering this as an option.

| 606.5 | VAX optimized for Oracle ?? | MAIL::DUNCANG | Gerry Duncan @KCO - DTN 452-3445 | Wed Apr 18 1990 00:58 | 5 |
| Re: -1, why in the world should we optimize the VAX for Oracle ??
Also, ask your customer which hardware machines ARE optimized for
Oracle ?
