871.0. "ORACLE, INGRES features" by HXOU01::VEY () Thu Feb 21 1991 14:16

    Can anyone help me with the following:
    
    Does ORACLE:
    		- allow data to reside anywhere on the disk packs?
    		- allow tables to be horizontally partitioned?
    		- allow data to be placed via indexeds for faster access?
    		- allow record clustering across tables?
    		- allow on-line table alteration?
    		- provide read consistency? (does a read block a write?)
    		
    Does INGRES:
    		- allow hashing of indexes?
    
    
    
    Regards,
