Does anyone have information on the performance differences running
INGRES under VMS and UNIX (specifically ULTRIX)? We currently have an INGRES
application running on a VAX 11/750 under VMS 4.1. The system configuration
is 2 meg of physical memory, 1 RM80, 1 RM05, no FPA. Since this system is
used exclusively for this particular application, we don't care what operating
is used, only that the machine can perform the task. Since we do not have any
UNIX systems in-house, it would be useful to us to have the benefit of others'
experience in this area. I realize that this system is under configured for
the application, but before it is upgraded a determination of which operating
system to use would be realistic. All information will be summarized to the
net.

We are a VAX 11/780 installation running Ultrix 1.1 and are attempting to
bring up Version 8 of Ingres from the 4.3 BSD distribution tape on our
machine. After initial success, we have encountered consistent I/O errors
using print and printr which return messages such as "Unix error," "Bad
file number," etc. Presumably these are due to the changes between 4.2
and 4.3 BSD. Before trying to track down these errors in the source code,
we would like to know:
(1) Has anyone else tried this besides us? (Advice, assistance?)
(2) Is what we are trying to do in fact hopeless?
