[comp.databases] Ingres and VMS 5.2

bg0l+@andrew.cmu.edu (Bruce E. Golightly) (10/19/89)

The Telecommunications group at Carnegie Mellon is out there on the bleeding
edge again. Details as follow:

We are in the process of moving our production systems to a uVAX3200 from a
clustered 11/780. Since VMS 5.2 was available, I thought I'd give it a try.
(On the VMS side, 5.2 seems nice enough. DECWindows is an improvement over
the old VWS stuff.) I realize that Ingres is not certified for VMS 5.2 at
this time, but what the hey, let's give it a try and see wht happens.

In the first 48 hours, I've found two points at which there are problems
and work-arounds for them. If anyone else out there is boldly going where
no man, woman, child, DBA or fool has gone before, I'd like to hear what
you've tripped over.

I'll post a summary to the net in a week or two.

Thanks in advance,
Bruce
