783.0. "Datacom - Eight " by PARVAX::SCRATCHLEY (What song can a piano play?) Tue Nov 06 1990 18:30

Topic 107 in this conference is helpful, and with a quick scan, I've found
no more references to DATACOM.

My customer has asked me about their CA (Cullinet) dbms DATACOM.  I
understand that it is not SQL-compliant, but that something they've called
DATACOM-8 (could be Datacom version 8.0 ?) will be.  Can someone shed some
light? 


thanks,

    fyi:  CA-DATACOM is a database product that CA acquired when they 
    acquired ADR.  It has no relation to CA-IDMS, the database product 
    that CA acquired when they acquired Cullinet.
    
    CA has claimed that they are providing SQL interfaces to their
    non-relational databases, both CA-DATACOM and CA-IDMS.  CA-IDMS V12
    will support relational structures, originally scheduled to be released 
    this month.  I don't know if it is actually being released this month.
    (Note -- CA-IDMS does not support SQL access to CODASYL structures,
    only to the new relational structures supported in CA-IDMS V12.)
    CA-DATACOM V8 will support relational structures, and I heard that it
    was supposed to be released in the first quarter CY91.
