1083.0. "Read/write access to an SQL server WNT from RDB" by ORAREP::EVOCDG::EL_YOUSSEFI (ABDELHAKIM EL-YOUSSEFI @EVO) Fri Jul 26 1996 08:10

Hello,

I am working on a big migration project from VAX VMS to Alpha Windows NT.
To ensure the exploitation continuity while redeveloping the application, 
we have to thought of the following:

Situation
  The application being used are developed with
  Vax COBOL, Dec Forms and RDB 6.0 under OpenVMS/VAX

Target situation
  Dec COCOL ,Dec forms, and RDB 6.0 under OpenVMS/Alpha.

The customer would like to have a unique database for the old and new 
applications. This new database is going to be managed with SQL server 6.0
under Windows NT. (No RDB 6.0 database under OpenVMS Alpha)
   

Questions:

 Does the DBI solution fit or answer this requirement, without modifying the 
existing applications?

 What would be the products to add to Open VMS Alpha and Windows NT?

Any answers or ideas to help solving this problem are highly appreciated.

Thanks everybody.

1083.1PC Data to startBROKE::SERRAYou got it, we JOIN it....DBIFri Jul 26 1996 09:1515
    Does the customer have a current Oracle Rdb support license. If so
    they would use th Rdb Distributed Option in conjunction with the Rdb
    Transparent Gateway to PC Data.
    
    If they do not have a valid license , they would use DataBase
    Integrator in conjunction with Rdb Transparent Gateway to PC Data.
    The PC Data Gateway get you do SQL Server.
    
    The application will work unless some Rdb features are used that either
    the gwy does not support, like BLOBS...
    
    
    thanks

1083.3..BROKE::SERRAYou got it, we JOIN it....DBIFri Jul 26 1996 14:0916
    Rdb is necessary but an Oracle support license gives you the Rdb
    Distributed Technology Suite free. If you do not have a current Oracle
    support license you have 2 choices:
           1 - the right one, GET an Oracle Rdb support license and the
                get free options
           2 - buy DataBase Integrator, you still need Oracle or Rdb as a
               catalog.
    
    If you want to have a single view of your rdb and sql server data, then
    you will need the Rdb Distributed Option/DataBase Integrator to
    integrate the 2 data sources.
    
    
    thanks

    i just mean that if your customer is running v6 of rdb and has not
    renewed their customer support contract. They need to be current,
    licensed for support.
    
    
    thanks
