I would like to know if any of you on the NET have further information about INGRES DBMS under Ultrix. The other day some people pointed out to me that it is indeed on the system. From what I can tell It is part of the Ultrix distribution and it sits in the "/usr/new" directory. No man entry for "ingres" exists. The obvious questions are: 1. Do you have a manual for ingres? 2. Where can I get a copy of manuals or is there a text book that you'd recommend? 3. Have you had experience using this Ingres under Ultrix? Please send mail to me directly. Thanks beforehand.

On my Ultrix system there are two tutorials, a reference manual and other goodies... Fred.

We're just getting started on a campus machine running a test version of Ultrix (4.0) and I need to get some familiarity with Ingres on this OS. I have lists of documents published for UNIX systems by the Ingres Corp., but I can't figure out the difference between SQL and QUEL. I assume these are both versions of structured query language, but there are apparently separate reference manuals for each, separate "ESQL" and "EQUEL" User's Guides, separate ESQL and EQUEL companion guides to Fortran, and so on. Since I have to purchase 3-4 sets of documentation, I'd like to know a bit more about why one would use one (SQL) approach in preference to another (QUEL). Can anyone help me out of this alphabet soup? Thanks very much. If there seems to be interest in the results, I'll summarize and post any info I receive.
