[mod.computers.vax] 4GL Info wanted

KEITHKM%GAV.MFENET@nmfecc.arpa.UUCP (01/29/87)

Our financial computing group is looking for a 4GL to
run on their new VAX 8700 (VMS).  Currently the two 
top runners are Oracle and Ingres.  Any comments or
recommendations would be appreciated, particularly
in the performance area.  Since this topic may not 
appeal to everyone on info-vax respond to be directly.

Thanks!

we have oracle here. the decision was based on it's portability. They had some
reservations about it's performance (on a ra-81'd 750) but have been using it for a
few months. I do not belive they have "gone live" with it yet. I have forwarded your
message onto the actual users for comment.
