| 842.1 | FTAM--although not convenient | BROKE::THOMAS | | Wed Jan 16 1991 23:09 | 7 |
| We currently have the ability to transfer files (not data tables)
to and from other systems using FTAM. I'm not aware of any database
gateway products that might be available.
Within a couple of years we ought to be able to hook most relational
systems up with SQL Access. Both DEC and Informix are active
participants in the SQL Access group.

| 842.2 | Who's in SQL Access? | IJSAPL::OLTHOF | Henny Olthof @UTO 838-2021 | Fri Jan 18 1991 08:57 | 13 |
| re -1:
Anne, do you have a list who is in the SQL Access group and wich of the
members actively contribute by helping define the protocols and
interfaces. Also nice to know is wich participants are likely to
demonstrate their capabilities during the summer event.
Who represents Digital there?
ps: We heared rumours that Ingres is missing. Is that true?

| Henny,
I've listed the membership and a short description in topic 843.0.
Almost all members are "producers", meaning that they are developing
a protoype. Ingres has been a member since the early days, but they
only recently moved from "observer" status to "producer" status.
The only glaring ommision from this group is IBM.

| Henny,
I spoke to Jeff Balboni today to ask about Ingres's involvement.
They were one of the 6 founding members, although they've never
been actively involved. I think I spoke too soon when I said that
they are now a producer. Their representative only attends the
management committee meetings, never the technical committee meetings.
Jeff says that he doesn't think they'll be in any hurry to produce
either a client or a server.
Considering the success of Ingres/Star, they really have little
incentive to develop a generic interface which would let their
competitors catch up with their technology.
