I've heard that Ingres will be ported to the Sun Sparcstation. Has this been done yet? If not is there any news as to when? I've seen RTI posters so I know someone who reads this group should know. Thanks. jpoole@ucsd.edu jpoole@ucsd.bitnet

If not is there any news as to when? I do not work in Product Marketing so I can not give you an official date. All I can say is that I've heard it's very far long and should be available within a month's time, if not sooner. Call 800-4-INGRES or your local salesperson for better information.

I've had the opportunity to run the RTI INGRES for our Sun-4/280 on a Sparcstation-1 during a demo session here on campus. I've been promised the machine for a day-or-two (most likely over next weekend) to actually run a benchmark suite. I couldn't build the pseudo-device lock manager into the kernel as I didn't have time to get the kernel built and installed. As it was (with the lock daemon), all ran well and *nicely* quick, even with the asynchronous SCSI, internal 105 MB disks (I'd be *very* interested to see performance with the much faster synchronous SCSI drives). This was all with version 5.0 (compiled under SunOS 4.0). Gerard Robinson (I'm totally irresponsible, so don't even expect me to claim these words :-)
