From: Jerry Bakin <Bakin@HI-MULTICS.ARPA> I am beginning to use VMS Ingres 2.1, by using EQUEL/C. First, am I directing my queries to the correct newsgroup? Is there an INFO-INGRES? DB-LOVERS? ETC? Two questions: How often does one have to use the statement: ## ingres db_name .... Once in the first program to use db_name? Or in each program which needs access to the database db_name? Also, if I use the statement: ## define view .... How long is this view "active"? For the duration that the database db_name is open? For life? Thanks, Jerry Bakin <Bakin@HI-MULTICS>
