[comp.databases] Experiences with SYBASE and/or Ingres

rpburry@ncs.dnd.ca (Paul Burry) (11/26/90)

I am considering using either SYBASE v4 or Ingres 6.3 as the DBMS for
a large database and I am interested in any experiences people may
have had with these products.


I am particularly interested in any information regarding:

    a) problems affecting 'round the clock (24/7) operation
    b) experiences with tables spanning multiple spindles
    c) providing users with access via store procedures only
    d) accessing external programs from stored procedures
    e) strategies to use to avoid to reduce locking
    f) strategies for deciding advantageous disk configurations
    g) DBMS performance when using SCSI disk drives
    h) DBMS performance when using IPI disk drives

    
Please respond via email.  I will summarize if there is sufficient
interest.
