I know there have been many requests for such information over the net, but I haven't seen any summarized results of the comparisons between Oracle and Ingres. Therefore, I am asking for peoples' thoughts and opinions on these two databases. If anyone has any direct comparisons of the two documented and on line, please e-mail me. We are looking for a database product that can allow us to build user-friendly interfaces with the product's forms package on VAX workstations running VMS, Sun SPARC workstations running UNIX (Sun OS), and IBM RS6000 workstations running AIX. Performance and space is a main concern of ours as well as support of the product and its stability on the given platform. From what I saw today on the net, I have been led to believe that INGRES's stability on the DEC RISC ULTRIX is questionable and Oracle is less than prompt with its upgrades. I need more info. Please send responses to: uunet!apexepa!formtek!rak Thanks in advance. Rich Koch
