970.0. "Ingres Tools Portable?" by HILLST::AMELI () Wed Aug 07 1991 18:08

In a competetive situation the customer is looking for a portable 4gl tool under
RISC/Ultrix. How about Ingres tools? Do they run under other platforms like HP?

Also, POWERHOUSE or FOCUS maybe good candidates since they support multiple
platforms. But do they support our ULTRIX/SQL product?

    There are a lot of portable 4GL toolsets that run on ULTRIX.  Some, like
    Oracle , INGRES, etc. run only on their "captive" RDBMS engines.  Some,
    like UNIFY ACCELL, etc. run on various RDBMS engines.  In addition,
    there are 3rd party tool vendors such as IBI FOCUS, JYACC, Natural
    Language, etc. than run across most or all of the RDBMS engines. 
    Almost all of these run across multiple platforms, such as HP, IBM,
    DEC, SUN, SEQUENT, etc.

    Also, the August 5, 1991 edition of DIGITAL NEWS has a feature article
    on 4GL products starting of page 31.  It lists most of the 4gls that
    support VMS, ULTRIX, and UNIX.  If you are not in a position to get 
    access to the issue, let me know via mail & I will copy & forward.

970.4Uniface is a candidate tooIJSAPL::OLTHOFHenny Olthof @UTO 838-2021Fri Aug 09 1991 09:316
    Uniface is seen by a number of experts as one of the best 4GL's around.
    And it works on various platforms. It also supports (or will in the
    very near future support) Ultrix/SQL. Check with your local Uniface
    representative. Send me a MAIL if you don't know who that is.
