[comp.databases] ODT-DATA / Ingres

anders@cmdsf.UUCP (Anders Nicolausson) (10/26/90)

I have purchased SCO's Open Desktop as part of an evaluation
of relational database systems. For a great price you get
Ingres included together with all the other goodies. My question
to the net and to SCO in particular is what will SCO's strategy
be when it comes to keep up to date with Ingres releases?

It seems from talking to Ingres that they don't really have anything 
to do with the SCO package. Does this mean that SCO now owns source
code and will be responsible for upgrades. Right now SCO is shipping
ODT with version 6.1 of Ingres. When talking to the guys at Ingres
they inform me that their current version for 386/486 is 6.2 with
6.3 (which has a lot of new stuff) coming soon. Also they told 
me that 6.1 has some known bugs that 6.2 has taken care of.

So again: Will you guys at SCO keep up to date with Ingres versions
or will we have to pay Ingres huge amount of dollars to ensure
version upgrades?
