108.5Cybos database from gateway?ORAREP::MPOS02::PEREZTrust, but ALWAYS verify!Wed May 08 1996 16:348
    I have a customer that is very interested in using DBI to integrate
    data from Sybase and Cybos databases.  I presume the Custom Drivers
    gateway would be the link to Cybos, but am wondering if anyone is
    familiar with the proprietary database that runs on VMS...
    
    Do I understand correctly from the previous replies that if a custom
    interface must be created it can be implemented in "C", and a prototype
    can be created in approximately a month?
