I am interested in purchasing RTI's "commercial" Ingres; it seems to do what we want. HOWEVER, I have received feedback from current users, particularly those own- ing VAX/VMS systems, that response time degrades inordinately when multiple users are accessing Ingres concurrently - both the package and the system slows down more so than with other DBMS's. I would appreciate any experience in this area that you may have had with RTI's Ingres on Unix-based systems. I would especially like to hear from those who have comparisons to Oracle. thank you, greg pavlov, fstrf, amherst, n.y., 716-837-4000 P.S.: we evaluated a number of systems in the past 6 months and simulated mul user environments to see how each system held up. We would do the same with Ingres. BUT the port to our machine, an HP9000 series 500, is not ready yet. So I was forced to evaluate it on a VAX750/VMS system.
