Hi netters,
I am a regular reader of this newsgroup. A gamut of areas have been discussed
so far in this newsgroup viz., pc databases, databases for larger machines,
distributed databases, distributed transaction processing, query languages etc.,
With the increasing number of "Transaction Processing" articles showing up
in this newsgroup and the budding "UNIX OLTP" market, I feel there could be
another newsgroup exclusively for "OLTP (On Line Transaction Processing)".
The potential discussions in this newgroup for example could be
- distributed transaction processing applications
- TUXEDO, CICS, TRANSARC etc.,
- network related issues in OLTP environments
- large scale database issues related to OLTP
- UNIX OLTP, open system solutions
- any other relevant topics to OLTP
I believe many of you in the OLTP world would also feel the need for such a
newsgroup. I propose a newsgroup which could be named as comp.databases.OLTP
or comp.OLTP. This could be very informative and an ideal place to discuss
about transaction processing related issues.
I encourage an open discussion on this proposal. Please express your opinions
on this proposal as a follow up or send an email at rao@uts.amdahl.com.
Rao ...

I'll second this opinion. A few months ago I asked for info from people on their TUXEDO experiences. I got more me toos than info. There is significant interest in the OLTP and distributed computing topics to warrant a group of its own. rao> I believe many of you in the OLTP world would also feel the need for such a rao> newsgroup.

There have been sporadic discussions in comp.databases, but not many long term discussions. With UNIX based OLTP taking off right now, more discussions are immanent. Dave Miller

I share your interest in OLTP, and don't oppose such a group. But the normal criterion for such action, a large amount of traffic which is of specialized interest, as I see it, hasn't quite been met yet.

Hi netters,
Couple of days back I proposed for the creation of a newsgroup called
comp.OLTP or comp.databases.OLTP.
Since then I have seen lot of discussions on this subject and I have received
overwhelming responses emailed to me supporting the proposal. I am collecting
all of them to submit a formal proposal to create the newsgroup.
So, please keep the discussions rolling and send your votes to me at
rao@uts.amdahl.com
Thanks,
Rao ...
