644.0. "INGRES perfomance limit war stories?" by MEO78B::RINTOULE () Mon May 14 1990 10:51

    We have a customer, currently Rdb, who is planning a large system of
    500 active concurrent users. They are being advised by a consultant and
    UNIX/INGRES is rearing its head.
    
    Does anybody have any experience of customers hitting the wall with
    either UNIX or INGRES when the number of users rises?
    
    Anybody had to convert from INGRES to ACMS/Rdb?
    
    Thanks in advance
    
    Vaughan
    
    P.S. This is a cross note with ACMS 1310.0

    Bernd Gutbier (COL01::GUTBIER) was involved in a benchmark for a big
    German customer between Ingres and Rdb. Contact him for the (thrilling)
    details on how Rdb and Ingres performed.

644.2RDB for an Airline Reservation SystemCOL01::GUTBIERWed May 16 1990 18:1615
    The benchmark was done for the German Charter Airline LTU to find
    the best relational database sytem for their new reservation system.
    
    "Unfortunately" INGRES did not turn up, so we did it with ACMS/RDB.
    
    The benchmark was done in Galway February and March 90. The result
    was "good", that means we have "the pleasure to implement the new
    LTU Reservation System" with ACMS/RDB and DECforms.
    
    If you need more details, call me und DTN 860-6239 or
    Germany-221-5486-239 or send Mail to COL01::GUTBIER
