1207.0. "HP-ux/Sybase <--> Rdb/VMS interoperability" by DURDUR::EICLIER () Fri Nov 20 1992 12:37

	Hello,

My cutomer has a VAX/VMS system running Rdb/VMS. This customer has just bought
HP workstations running HP-UX for his trading room. The software running on the
HP stations uses SYBASE.

The customer wants to access data in the Rdb/VMS database from the HP system.

My question are : 

Is there any way today to do that ?

Does the SQL access server we provide a solution to do that ?

Who should provide the SQL access client on the HP-UX system , HP or Sybase ?
Do we need more than an SQL access client ?

Is there any product available or announced by HP or sybase to do that ?


Last question which could be an other solution :

Is there any plan to extend the SQL/services client capabilities to HP-UX as 
it has has been done in Rdb 4.1 for SUN ?


	Thanks for any help

If SYBASE has provided a SQL Access *client* capability in one of their
gateways then it could be used with our SQL Access Server product to do
what you want.  Otherwise SYBASE(*) probably has a gateway product that
accesses Rdb.

(*) SYBASE's gateways are actually available from SQL SOLUTIONS, a
company that SYBASE bought sometime back.
