[comp.databases] ACCELL/IDS vs ACCELL/SQL benchmarks

itkin@mrspoc.Transact.COM (Steven M. List) (02/15/90)

We have a customer who is considering converting an application from
ACCELL/IDS (1.4) to ACCELL/SQL.  Unify indicates that the minimum
recommended configuration to run ACCELL/SQL is 8MB of RAM.  The question
is: given the same application ported from IDS to SQL, what are the
numbers of users that can run on the same system for each version?

If the recommended configuration is any indication, it would seem 
to imply that a system (say a 386 running SCO XENIX with 8MB) that
supported 4-8 users on IDS would only support 2 or 3 users on SQL.

Has anyone done any port benchmarks of this type?  What results?
