I'm surveying current VAX-based relational database software for a system
on which to build an applications package, and would appreciate comments on
users' experiences with such systems (especially ORACLE and INGRES).
Of special interest are comments on:
. the reliability of the system with respect to maintaining database
integrity (I have heard that ORACLE has problems with this)
. performance, especially in a simultaneous, multi-user environment
. the quality of documentation and customer support
. facilities for interactive and batch data entry
. the frequency at which new releases occur; compatibility between releases
. the quality of host-language interfaces, especially to C
Thanks,
Bob Chatham
