[comp.databases] Raima Corp. - db_VISTA and db_QUERY

karla@questar.QUESTAR.MN.ORG (Karla Smith) (09/25/87)

I am looking for information from anyone who has used either of these
products.  In particular, on the AT&T 3B1 (Unix PC).  

Flexible?  Full Featured? Bug free?  Well documented?  How was user
support from RAIMA?  

I know very little about database packages in general, so am finding it
hard to "read between the lines" of the promotional materials I've
received so far.

I'm working on a project in which the database is only a small part of
the total picture, so would prefer to do all the accessing and manipulating
of data through C callable functions.  I've also looked some at Informix SQL
and ESQL/C.  Those packages are quite a bit more expensive however and I'm
not sure they will really do more for me.  

ANY comments or suggestions on other packages similar to either of these
would be greatly appreciated.  Please e-mail.
