[H-GEN] Databases for Linux

[Frank Brand]

I enclose a snip from the Linnux-Announce list. This might be a bit
topical for you


The NAIUA (North American Ingres Users Association) would like to
announce that Computer Associates has committed to porting the Ingres
II RDBMS to Linux by the end of Q3 1998.  It will be included on the
UNIX Software Development Kit which will be available for free on the
CA Web site at http://www.cai.com.
(Note: the SDK currently available on CA's web site is for Windows
NT only and does not yet include Ingres for Linux)

Ingres II is the latest version of the distributed database suite that
pioneered RDBMS technology.  By porting Ingres to Linux, CA introduces
world-class mission-critical data storage to a quickly maturing free
UNIX variant.  The list of Ingres features is long and colorful, but
the main points are distributed data access, two-phase commit, variable
page size, row-level locking, binary large objects (BLOBS), enterprise
gateways to legacy data, full 3GL and 4GL support including interfaces
for C, C++, ODBC, and others.

Ingres II for Linux was demoed with Red Hat at CA-World 98 and will be
available for Linux platforms running Red Hat 2.0 pl27 as well as other
compatible versions.  It will be free with the Ingres II SDK for UNIX.
Support structures have not been determined by CA at this time.
