Can someone give me some ideas about interfacing Rdb with the RV20/RV64
optical storage products?
Some knowns:
o As I understand it, they are basically tape-oriented devices to the
system...i.e. random access is not as clean as with a conventional
disk...
o Since they are WORM technology, they're not really conducive to
being used with a database manager like Rdb. (that needs to change
header data on a disk...)
o They COULD be used as an extension of a database to store textual
info that is pinted to or indexed by a relational database that runs on
a conventional winchester-disk device.
I have a customer that wants to implement a 250 GB database on 2 RV
64's, with an accompanying SA600....
Let's use this to start a discussion about how WORM technology and
Relational Database can be used together....

What does this have to do with competition? You should move this request to the BANZAI::RDB30B conference to get some real discussion. | |||||

Sorry Hal, between customer presentations I was having a hard time
keeping up with the versions of the Rdb Notes conferences....I got my
answer at summer school anyway...thanks.
