| Someone just mentioned that because of the Client/Server aspect
we may not be able to do this? ie. the Server is too closely tied
to Rdb. Is this true?
|
| 626.2 | Only RDB | CREDIT::BALBONI | | Tue Apr 24 1990 22:36 | 4 |
| Yes, it's true. SQL/Services will only talk to Rdb/VMS. As you pointed
out the SQL/Services server is closely tied to Rdb/VMS.

| What about when 'Rdb access to ORACLE' is released?

If the requests are going to originate from a PC 'Rdb Access to Oracle'
won't work.
At some point in the future Digital hopes to solve this problem by
using SQL Access. SQL Access will allow requests originated from a
client to communicate with most 3RD party databases using a common wire
protocol.

| 626.5 | SQL/Services = Rdb | CLYPPR::WASSERMAN | Deb Wasserman, DTN 264-1863 | Wed Apr 25 1990 17:44 | 9 |
| Excuse me, but how does the inability to use SQL/Services to access
Oracle and other non-Rdb databases consitute a "problem"?
SQL/Services' whole reason for existing is to allow desktop integration
with Rdb/VMS databases. Of course the server is "too" closely tied to
Rdb. It was intentionally designed that way.

| 626.6 | Not a problem for me | POBOX::LACEY | ACMS/Rdb, the transaction Autobahn | Wed Apr 25 1990 22:49 | 4 |
| It doesn't necessarily constitute a problem. I was just wondering
because SQL-Services can access DB2 through Rdb & VIDA.

| 626.7 | VIDA | CREDIT::BALBONI | | Thu Apr 26 1990 17:17 | 9 |

Actually Paul you are right. I didn't understand your question when you
said 'What about Vida for Oracle'? Vida for Oracle will work in
conjuntion with SQL/Services but it would be read-only access.
Good Point....

| Hey guys, let's not discuss unannounced products in here.
"Vida for Oracle" or RdbAccess should not be discussed in open notes.
For information on forthcoming interoperability products, please
contact me directly.

| 626.9 | Interoperability Gateways support SQL/Services | SQLRUS::THOMAS | | Mon Apr 30 1990 18:35 | 9 |
| SQL/Services uses dynamic SQL to submit requests to Rdb/Dispatch.
Rdb/Dispatch can send requests to some non-Rdb/VMS databases using
the interoperability gateways. We currently have 2 interoperability
gateways: VIDA for DB2 and VIDA with IDMS/R. Therefore, SQL/Services
can be used, currently, to access DB2 and IDMS databases. Forthcoming
interoperability gateway products will also support access through
SQL/Services.
