We are considering purchasing it: it is reasonably complete and is reasonably fast. HOWEVER: we have received feedback (primarily from VAX VMS sites) that it does not fare well, speed-wise, under multi-user conditions - it suffers from inordinate degradation. Please let me know your experiences with this, if you have Ingres on a Unix system. ESPECIALLY if you have made formal (even informal) comparisons to Oracle. I will be happy to call you on the telephone if you send me a message with your phone number. Much thanks, greg pavlov, FSTRF, Amherst, N.Y. 716-837-4000
