I use Ingres on a VMS VAX, and am interested in sharing information
about it. I'm particularly interested in warnings of bugs in new releases,
and in sharing equel/fortran and equel/c programs and macros. If this
interests you, please send me your network address. If there are only a
few responses, I'll mail all the addresses I get to the other respondents,
so we can mail to each other; if there are a lot of responses, I'll ask
the various wizards to start a new group.
Perhaps there should be a net.database group. If it becomes dominated
by a single system, a subgroup could be spawned. If this interests you, let
me know.
I'll post a summary of responses in a couple of weeks.

The net.database concept is a good idea. The entire realm of data management and databases seems to have gone unnoticed on the net. Our group here at TEK is interested in data management in general and databases in particular. I would suggest that the group we need is net.dm.ingres where the dm=data management. An example of data management issues that transcend the database world are semantic grammars for data translation i.e. EDIF, IGES (you can see we have a rather parochial view of the world). Therefore, the data management world could grow to: net.dm ........ General Data Management Issues net.dm.irds ........ Data Management issues related to meta-data issues. A discussion could begin here on the IRDS (Information Resource Dictionary System) standard just sent out by X3H4 for public review. net.dm.ingres ........ INGRES issues net.dm.<dbms> ........ <Other DBMSs> net.dm.trans ........ Data Interfaces (Translators) I would be interested in comments and other ideas but in any case let's get some discussion of the DM issues started... Michael E.

I vote yes also. I am working with both UNIFY and INGRES and am interested
in sharing information.

> The net.database concept is a good idea. Can't dispute that, but I do know that the mailing list concerning databases expired after two issues, so I wonder how much real data can be generated. > I would be interested in comments and other ideas but in any case let's get > some discussion of the DM issues started... Yes, please start some discussion, and see if it gets in anyone's hair before starting up a newsgroup for it. Lyle McElhaney ...denelcor!lmc
