I keep seeing articles in various trade magazines stating that the next release of Ultrix (v 4.0) will come bundled with a "runtime version" of RTI's Ingres. None of these articles has gone into much detail. What exactly is meant by a runtime version of a DBMS? Does anyone know just how much of Ingres' DBMS will come with Ultrix (i.e., precompilers, an SQL or some other front end, DBA and application tools, networking support) if anything? -- Jay Elvove jay@umd5.umd.edu c/o Academic Software Comp.

Database Adminsistrator (DBA) tools optimization tools: Allows DBA to create database systems and maintain them. Additionally, there are optimization tools to tune for performance in such areas as tunable lock management, tunable buffer management, and backup and recovery. DECnet and TCP/IP network access within ULTRIX environment: Database tables can be shared among multiple ULTRIX systems using either DECnet or TCP/IP. Documentation: Full set includes on-line, man-pages, and a standards cross-reference table outlining commands that comply to current standards such as ANSI and X/Open. Disclaimer: Although I work for DEC I only support databases running under VMS. --- Barry L.
