I have a customer who is concidering purchasing a VAX and had some
questions concerning databases on VMS. They are familiar with a
database call NOMAD. It is an agency standard. I think it runs
on IBM's but am not sure.
Can anyone give me some information about this NOMAD product: who
makes it, what does it run under, will it ever run under VMS ????....
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide...

Nomad is from Dun & Bradstreet Corporation. Features:
report writer
business graphics
statistics -- includes multiple and polynomial regression, t-test,chi
square, etc.
interactive data analysis tool
applications development
host language interfaces
interactive, menu-driven data dictionary
interfaces to DB2, IMS, IDMS, and SQL/DS
The closest product to it, in terms of functionality, is FOCUS.
Will it ever be available on a VAX? Don't know. It isn't all that
successful in the IBM world. I can't see anything driving it to
VAX.

Hi,
I used NOMAD2 for a couple of years a few years ago. It runs on
IBM and it is an excellent product (very powerful).
There were tries in the past to have it under VMS but they failed
at the management level. Last summer I read on Computerworld that
a software company bought it from Dun & Bradstreet and that they
were thinking about NOMAD2 on VMS.
I can say that it would be nice to have it with us...
Domenico.
