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, Glen Scratchley Sales Support Parsippany, NJ

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.
