2997.0. "Oracle RDB 7 and DEC/EDI" by NETRIX::"jan-ake.olsson@ugo.mts.dec.com" (jan-ake olsson) Thu Feb 06 1997 15:44

Hi!

Got the same question as Martin in note 2986. The reply in note 2986.2:

"They say upgrade to Oracle Rdb V7 but we have not tested against Oracle 
    Rdb V7 nor have we any plans to do so."
is it a statement from Digital? Is RDB end-of-life with EDI for UNIX?

2997.1Need a quick answer!NETRIX::"jan-ake.olsson@ugo.mts.dec.com"jan-ake olsson @ugoFri Feb 07 1997 11:5018
Hi!

I really need a quick answer on my question. The customer has 
decided to use RDB, even if our recommendations was to use Oracle.
The reason to choose RDB was due to some translation of an old RDB
license which costed less than an Oracle license.

I've phoned Oracle for UNIX 4.0x and RDB 6.1x support and they 
haven't been able to give a answer yet.

This configuration is going to be set up in one or two weeks and if
RDB really is a dead-end we have the option to change it NOW and not
facing this later on.

Best regards

      Jan-Ake

Jan-Ake,

There will be no quick answer for this. Since the sell off of RDB ro Oracle it
has been ever more difficult to obtain the latest RDB kits. 
Representatives from EDI Engineering have been talking to Oracle about
improving matters but this has proven to be a very slow process. 

Contact Duncan for an 'official' answer.

The latest on Oracle RDB V7 for UNIX is:

Oracle failed to ship us a kit :-(

Still waiting to see if this was our ordering failure or their
failure to fulfil correctly.

We could be weeks away from knowing the outcome of this.
