[comp.databases] Connecting a PC to INGRES running on a unix machine

cp@joker.mil.ufl.edu (Costas Papas) (01/03/91)

 Hi there,
   
   Happy New Year to all !!!

   Here is my question:

   We are developping an application under windows that needs to access INGRES 
   running on a SCO/UNIX 386 machine. We would like to use ESQL.
   
   Is this something that could be done?
 
   Does INGRES support this kind of connection?  I read thru the manuals about
   INGRES/NET but this seems to be for All-Unix networked machines.

   Thanks in advance !!
   Costas.

VisionWare sells a product, "SQL-CONNECT" which will act as a link like which
you have requested, ie it connects applications running under Microsoft
Windows on a PC to INGRES 6 on SCO/Unix.  Contact me for details (lest I
be flamed for unsubtle advertising   1/2 :-)
