[mod.computers.vax] Query on ORACLE and INGRES ...

OMOND@EMBL.BITNET (Roy Omond) (10/28/86)

Hi,

We are trying to decide on a DBMS here for storing DNA sequence data (*lots*
of it) and have cut the list of possible systems down to (effectively) two;
Oracle and Ingres.

Since the price of both of those systems is way up high :-(  we're trying
to be as sure as possible we come up with the right solution for our needs.

Any comments on your experiences with any of these two systems would be
most appreciated.  If there's enough response, I'll summarise to the list.

(Background: we're running VMS on a cluster, 1x8600 and 1x785)

Many thanks in advance to anyone who responds ...
