This may or may not be the right place to ask this - but if not maybe
someone could point me in the right direction.
I'm trying to find out some information to assist a sale of a DEC RISC
solution to replace a customer's ICL UNIX/INGRES installation.
The customer is running a database 'accelerator' called SCAFFS which
enables rapid access to INGRES databases - I need more information
about SCAFFS - what is it? what does it do? how good is it? can we
provide an alternative?
Thanks
Caroline

Do you mean CAFS (Content Addressable File Store)?
This is a kind of search accelerator, allowing hardware speed searches
over large disk farms. It is found on ICLs mainframe systems (series
39), and, I believe, is now given away as a freebie.
The last time I looked, it could not be used with Ingres.
There used to be an ICL conference; if I can find it I'll post a
reference to it.

We've talked with ICL about their database accelerator which uses a
combo of sw/drivers and a hw board. It's available first for the
Ingres db (a no brainer), and then Informix and others as the ICL
negotiations move forward.
