1271.0. "Do these DBs run on these platforms??" by DOD2::PARKER () Thu Jul 15 1993 23:01

    Hi Gang....
    
    	I am putting together a competitive matrix and I am trying to
    figure out which competitive products run on which platforms.  If you
    can fill in any of the blanks that I have, I would really appreciate
    any and all help.  I am looking at 3 different platforms:
    
    
    		VMS VAX		VMS AXP		OSF/1 AXP
    
    	I need to know about the following combinations of products running
    on the above hw platforms:
    
    
    INGRESS -	OSF/1
    EDA/SQL -   All platforms
    PROGRESS -  All platforms
    SQLBASE -   All platforms
    
    Thank again

1271.3	Like to see the result if possible	IJSAPL::OLTHOF	Yes, the name is HenNy, not Henry	`Thu Jul 22 1993 16:26`	8
	Nothing to add as info is concerned, but would appreciate to see the outcome of the 'competitive matrix'. With the budgets for marketing almost gone down to zero, anything that is compiled by the field is welcome as amunition in the continuous battle against some 3rd parties. Thanks, Henny

Now; Beta now; FRS FRS Mar. 93 calendar Q4/93 -------- ----------- -------------- Regards, rcs Sybase runs like a dog on Alpha - slower than on VMS. They've got data alignment problems which will be fixed in the next release... -Steve
1271.5	re: competitive matrix	MBALDY::LANGSTON	The secret is strong ears.	`Thu Aug 05 1993 00:20`	3
	Joan Scherer @KYO did a competitive matrix early this year. I see that she's not in ELF, so...

	Re: .5 You are correct, Bruce. Joan has left Digital and is now working for a Wall Street firm. Elaine Greenberg @NYO (DTN 352-2384) was her manager and may know where you can locate the document. The document covered Rdb V4.1, Oracle 7, and Sybase System 10 with information that was known as of December 1992. You may be able to get a more up to date document (done by different people) on Rdb V6.0, Oracle 7, and Sybase System 10 from Evan (NOVA::EBAUER) Bauer (DTN 352-2385) or Hal Berenson (NOVA::) Berenson (DTN 264-3404). <GETTING UP ON SOAPBOX> Unfortunately, these are ad-hoc (i.e., midnight project) efforts and should in no way be confused with any funded competitive marketing within Digital. If you think this kind of information is useful, you should inform the appropriate CBU technical director. <STEPPING DOWN NOW> - Barry Aside to moderator: Will you be changing this notes file to DEC_Rdb_Competiton to reflect the products new name?
