3707.0. "using Oracle? again..." by HGSWS1::SUSANCHAN () Wed Sep 09 1992 03:54

This is the continuation of node 2845...

I have a potential customer who also ask the same question,

Can DECmcc use Oracle for Historical data and Reporting instead 
of ULTRIX/SAL and INGRES?

since he is using Oracle oon ULTRIX right now.


From note 2845, the answer is no, but
Is there any update on the response to this question?

Thanks,
Susan

3707.1No changeTOOK::MINTZLKG2-2 near pole X3, cube 6072, dtn 226-5033Wed Sep 09 1992 11:588
Sorry, there has not been any change.  The answer is still no.

Due to the change in the support  status of Ingres/SQL, there will
have to be alternatives in the longer term.  But let product management
know if you have a shorter term need.

	My understandibg is that DECmcc CAN use ORACLE , but sthis need to be
	developped . The best example that this could be done is OLIVETTI :	
	When porting Mcc to Unix System V they use ORACLE as Export Database .
		The question now is : 'How complex'in term of Eng. Development  
	 would it be to use Oracle db in spite of Ingres on Mcc Ultrix ?

3707.3Would be a good thing to do.FRSOLD::ORCHIS::SYSTEMInformation, that's all I need...Mon Sep 21 1992 18:2116
Hi all,

creating an ORACLE Exporting FM would be a great thing to do! At least in Germany,
ORACLE has very strong market position. Such a FM would surely help us sell
DECmcc.

In fact, I had at least three or four customer within the last six month who
where asking for it and I don't think it would be a difficult thing to do. You
just have to change the database calls, right?


Kind Regards

3707.4It is now 1993 and I also have a customer who wants to use ORACLEDAGWST::SITZWed Mar 03 1993 22:2410
My customer has a large investment in ORACLE products and would just about
eleminate all of the Polycenter (AKA DECmcc...) products from consideration if
we force another data base system on them.  It becomes even worse now that we
make they pay for Ingres.

Has any progress been made on this subject?

Regares,

3707.5ULTRIX/SQL in DECmcc BMS now?SOLVIT::SILVACarl Silva - TNM/PNM Business Development ManagerTue Mar 16 1993 17:4714
	RE: .4,

>we force another data base system on them.  

	I run into this problem all the time as well.  Oracle seems to be the
most popular.

>It becomes even worse now that we
>make they pay for Ingres.

	Is this still true?  I thought I read a note that said ULTRIX/SQL is
included in DECmcc BMS V1.3 now.
