Is anyone familiar with AnswerDB? I've heard of it but I can't find any description of it at all. I'm meeting with a customer tomorrow who is supposedly considering it for their database sw. Any help would be appreciated. regards, Paul Moran, emass::moran

I hope I remember correctly. Answer/DB is a software from Sterling
and runs on IBM mainframes. It is also called Extractor which says
more or less what the software does. Answer/DB is able to extract
data from various sources (VSAM files, IMS/DB, DB2) and write thus
data into a VSAM file. Someone told me the Answer/DB software is
fairly expensive and not simple to setup correctly.
We used to have a product called VAXlink which enabled a user to
attach to Answer/DB on the IBM side to extract data and later to
load the data into a Rdb database. VAXlink was retired at least a
year ago.
