Can anyone provide information on what Charles Rivers and Associates brings to the table for VAX-based ORACLE systems? Ford has lots (I said lots) of ORACLE databases and applications on many different VAXes. They are currently evaluating some PC-based solution from Charles Rivers to address the performance concerns that Ford has about ORACLE on the VAX. Thanks, Rick

I have seen (and participated in) some of the Charles River demos that
highlight their Oracle db acelerator product on VAX/VMS systems at
various trade shows/events. Their product shows substantial response
improvements over standard Oracle reponse times. How it might improve
an actual application is probably dependent on each implementation.

Mark, Thanks for your reply. I have also heard of them but not much more is known about them than what you said in -.1. My customer says that they are looking at a PC based acclerator from Charles River. The customer says that the ORACLE tools will still run on the VAX but, the database (reads/updates) will run on a PC. (How this is handled I have no idea!!) It is supposedly priced at $100,000 to solve my customer's concerns. Those concerns being price related. They get killed by the ORACLE pricing whenever they upgrade the VAXen. The customer sees CRA as a why to avoid that price increase when the upgrade at a later date. So, has anyone heard anything more specific about how CRA does this and what some knockoffs might be?
