1234.0. "gupta questions" by ATH853::LAMBRAKIS () Thu Feb 25 1993 15:08

Hello,
	having read the notes 534, 1098, 1138 about Gupta products in the
Rdb_vms_competition conf., I have some questions about the above product:

	1) Does this product come with any front end tools to create
applications? Is there a gupta language (DML)?
	2) How could one access such a db? (Clipper, paradox etc?)
	3) Is it a product that runs only on PCs?
	4) What kind of software do you need on the PC? (ex. windows?)
	5) What is its reputation?
	6) Could it be trusted for a serious tp environment?
	7) Any comparison to rdb?

Thanks in advance,

Panos.
