[comp.databases] Decnet and Ingres interface

shrimali@mandrill.UUCP (09/18/87)

Hi!, I am trying to interface decnet to Ingres, that is some how trying
to put decnet packet in Ingres tables directly, only method I know
is to keep a process running (under VMS this could be a ABF application)
which takes data from Decnet mail-server process directly, and then
do a SQL insert in the table. I think there must be better ways to 
load a table than this.  The data rate is about 20 packets (512 bytes) per
minute.

   Ingres uses VMS mailboxes to communicate between the front end and
backend process, and since all database activities are performed by
the backend process, if I am not worried about data integrity, security
etc. I should be able to pass the  data directly to the back-end process,
that is if I knew format's etc. 

  Has anybody done this before, I will be thankful if some body can show 
a better way to do this.
