| Charles,
True, we could use this in competitive situations but at the risk of
shooting ourselves in the foot. Remember, we have someting called
Ultrix/SQL on our U platfoms. The reply from ASK could always be "If
the performance of our product Ingres is as bad as Digital says,
why did their select this product to sell as Ultrix/SQL?".
Of course you know the answer to that. But you are right, Ingres
performace is bad and the whole world knows it.

Because performance was not one of the selection criteria. And, you
don't really want to know the politics behind the selection.

| Direct from the mouth of Ingres when we asked the same question:
Ingres is designed with high quality as its foremost goal; performance
is important, but not our primary focus.
'nuff said.

| 1039.4 | 'High quality' is in the eye of the customer | BROKE::HIGGS | SQL is a camel in disguise | Wed Dec 18 1991 16:03 | 8 |
| Did they define what they meant by 'high quality'?
In many customers eyes, performance and high quality are closely associated.
It's difficult to see how they can succeed in the database marketplace in the
long run without at least a story on performance.
