1058.0. "Cost benefits" by CSOA1::STUTSON () Tue Jan 14 1992 04:06

    I have a US Air Force customer that is running Oracle on an
    8650 and 4000-300.   He is curious about the Trifox and TRIM/tools.
    I will contact the migration center to some more details
    (TYFYS::hotline).
    
    Does anyone have cost data on the proven benefits of moving to an 
    RDB environment?

1058.1My 2 cents worth...KYOA::KOCHIt never hurts to ask...Tue Jan 14 1992 05:309
    I believe there are references in this notes file pointing to documents
    concerning cost. However, their is one that Oracle can NOT compete with
    at this point. It is the free RUN-TIME license after an application is
    developed. Any application can be deployed at NO cost after
    development. 
    
    Does Oracle provide a public and stable interface for third party
    tools? I know that product management can provide this information for
    you. 
1058.2Trifox is compiledTRCOA::MCMULLENKen McMullenTue Jan 14 1992 14:213
    Trifox's tools are also compiled (as opposed to Oracles interpretive
    SQeaL*FORMS). The overhead with Trifox and Rdb or an Oracle database
    would be less.

      T'would be best to NOT spread rumors Simon!  That is NOT true.  The
    current VMS/NAS plans keep Rdb/VMS Runtime in the VMS license.  What
    might get taken out is the SQL/Services Server, which would be shipped
    in NAS200.  Makes sense since the Server is useless without the stuff
    that's in NAS200!!
