2151.0. "SQL/Services & Digital Unix" by NLVMS3::ADRIEL () Tue Feb 25 1997 15:09

    Hi,
    
    Digital Unix & Oracle Rdb for UNIX.
    
    is it possible to install/use SQL/Services V7.0 while leaving
    the Rdb environment V6.1-03 ?
    This works for OpenVMS platforms of course.
    
    I noticed that SQL/Services installation script checks for Rdb V7.0.

2151.1No multiversioning on Digital UnixSQLSRV::OXBURYOracle Corporation, Rdb Desktop Group|DTN 381-2704Tue Feb 25 1997 16:1212
Hi Adri,

Because Rdb does not support multi-versioning on Digital Unix, neither can
SQL/Services. Therefore, if you install SQL/Services V7.0 on a Digital Unix
system running Rdb 6.1, you'll render the SQL/Services server system unusable. 
Functionally speaking, SQL/Services 7.0 is more or less equivalent to
SQL/Services 6.1. However, SQL/Services 7.0 does have a bunch of new features,
most especially in the area of system management. Plus some bug fixes of course.
However, if you want to use the new system management features, or need any of
the bug fixes, then you'll have to upgrade to Rdb 7.0 as well.
