[comp.sys.next] Generic Sybase question

UH2@psuvm.psu.edu (Lee Sailer) (10/18/90)

Does Sybase actually come with the present Cube, or is it still in beta?
Will Sybase come with the NeXTStation, or has it been unbundled?

And last, what actually does Sybase offer?  As I understand it, it is an
SQL server.  Does this mean that if Sybase is running, that other applications
can locate it, send it SQL queries, and get back results?

Suppose one wished
to construct a simple database system to implement a somewhat idiosyncratic
time and task management system.  How hard would it be to use the Interface
Builder to make a front end, and then tie that to Sybase?  Would one need
expertise in Obj C?

Any ideas on these topics welcome...
