[bit.listserv.novell] SQL-Server, Netwares XQL

XBR1D65W@DDATHD21.BITNET (HAJO SCHMITT) (02/06/90)

A question to Novells XQL package:

we ordered Novells XQL services 2.01. As i understand till now is that
these servies run on top of the Btrive-requestor in a workstation.
These product is not a real SQL-Server application. That means that you
need a lot of memory for XQL ( IPX, NET3, Btrive, XQLP etc.).

Somebody mentioned in a contribution that there is a SQL-Server for
Netware around. Question:

o  is there a SQL-VAP available ?

o  How much memory do you need for the SQL-services in the workstation ?

o  Can you install XQL Vers. 2.01 in a VAP fashion without using
   the local Btrive-requestor ? (The handbook only describes a local
   setup, assuming that there is a Btrive-layer available)

          Yes, it is called Netware SQL.  The current version, I
          believe, is 2.01 and runs in your server.  Make sure
          you have plenty of memory there.

           I think you'll need close to 100K; I don't exactly
           remember.  You still need the Btrieve requestor
           (BREQUEST) and something else called the Netware SQL
           requestor (NSREQ).  You don't need anything else, though,
           beside your application.
