Hello,
You are right, it's probably not the right place, but you know, as I'm
only a poor worker on TCP/IP protocols... and in order to reach the ears
of my SQL, VIA, ... colleagues, I thought useful to try this Conference,
hoping that someboby, somewhere had already seen such an issue.
Thanks anyway for your answer ;-).
Best regards,

| Oracle Extends `Sybase Swap' Program Through May 31 For
Painless Migration From Sybase To Oracle
REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., April 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle Corp today
announced an
extension to its successful "Sybase Swap" program through May 31,
designed to offer concerned
Sybase customers a safe and painless migration of their
mission-critical data to Oracle's leading
database, application and Internet software environment. The program
provides incentives to ease
the process of migration including product discounts, rebates on Sybase
purchases, simplified
payment schedules, migration tools and Oracle Consulting Services, the
corporation's professional
consulting division which rounds out Oracle's unique full-solution
offering. Oracle's product
offerings include the industry-leading Oracle(R) Universal Server,
Developer/2000(TM) and
Designer/2000(TM) toolsets, and Oracle Transparent Gateway(R)
technology for Sybase.
Many Sybase customers and partners have recently switched to Oracle
because of concerns over
the longevity of their database provider, as well as product
performance and scalability. The
Sybase Swap program provides a significant opportunity to migrate
highly valued information to
the industry's fast and feature-rich database software with minimal
work, low cost and
considerable reductions in risk.
Oracle has developed effective and quick migration programs which will
assist customers
participating in this program. Oracle Consulting Services' Advanced
Conversion Technology
(ACT) practice has developed a Migration Methodology, which consists of
integrated
documentation and deliverables that enable a successful and predictable
conversion process.
Oracle Consulting Services' ACT practice can provide custom consulting,
sizing and performance
tuning for the converted application. In addition, Oracle Design and
Migration Services has created
a specialized toolset to help automate the migration of Sybase schema,
data, triggers and stored
procedures to the trusted Oracle environment.
"One of the most crucial assets for many organizations is the vast
amount of information stored
and managed on their database," said Mark Jarvis, vice president of
marketing for Server
Technologies at Oracle Corporation. "These customers therefore demand
technology leadership,
stability and vision from their database provider. Over the past 20
years, Oracle has continued to
prove itself to be the best investment for customers to ensure the
long-term success of their
information technology strategies."
Oracle's comprehensive group of products and services enables Sybase
customers to leverage
their existing systems while minimizing risk during migration to the
Oracle environment.
Oracle(R) Universal Server, the industry's best selling database
software, provides the stable,
secure platform that delivers unparalleled scalability and the ability
to manage multiple data types
while powering customized or proprietary applications. Oracle
Transparent Gateway for Sybase
allows data stored in a Sybase database to be easily integrated into an
Oracle database, allowing
a customer's applications to access Sybase data as easily as if the
data were stored in an Oracle
database.
The Designer/2000 tool allows the Sybase customer to model current
Sybase database and
PowerBuilder applications and quickly regenerate them as Developer/2000
applications, taking full
advantage of features in the Oracle database. Applications can also be
simultaneously generated
as cartridges to plug into Oracle's Network Computing Architecture(TM)
(NCA), making them
immediately available to any Network Computer, PC or other client
device over the Web or
existing client/server environments.
Once the database is successfully migrated to Oracle(R) Universal
Server, clients can continue to
work with Oracle Consulting Services to re-engineer or enhance the
system. Oracle Consulting
Services provides a full spectrum of services including new technology
areas such as electronic
commerce, intranets, Web-based applications, Oracle Application
implementation, custom
development, data warehousing, business consulting and program
management.
For more information about the Sybase Swap program, call
1-800/633-0583.

information management, and
the world's second largest software company. With annual revenues of

| RE: Note 3875.3 by BROKE::SERRA -< FYI - they could switch !! >-
Thanks Kathy (? that's the givenname provided by ELF)
And sorry for answering so late, I was absent from the office:
I will forward your interesting paper to my (bank) customer.
And I am happy to signal that we have found a way to a large
improvement, by using the UCX TCP LOOPBACK mode:
$ UCX Set Proto TCP /LOOPBACK
For any details on our tests, read the LASSIE::UCX Note # 5389.3
showing that the 1 hour test is now running in ~5 minutes, around
as fast as DECnet.
Thanks again and best regards,
Pierre-Etienne
