| 628.1 | Text versions available? | ODIXIE::RIDGWAY | Florida Native | Tue May 01 1990 21:45 | 7 | 
|  |     Thanks to Michael Booth for providing the competitive fact sheets, but
    is it possible to put ASCI text versions out on the net.  Here in the
    field not everyone has postscript printers!
    
    Thanks,

| 628.2 | Where is it? | OKYAH::VANVUREN | Johannes van Vuren, London UK | Wed May 02 1990 15:44 | 5 | 
|  |     Where is the Ingres fact sheet??
    Couldnt find it in nova::pm01:[booth.public]
    Does it relate to Ingres v6.2 or V6.3?
    Thanks a lot,
    Johannes

| 628.3 | Not Yet | BANZAI::BOOTH | What am I?...An Oracle? | Wed May 02 1990 18:01 | 4 | 
|  |     It isn't there yet. I'm trying to get it together in the next couple of
    weeks. This is more difficult than either Oracle or Sybase.

|  |     Micheal,
    
    Any way we can get an ASCII preview? I'm in the crucial stages of
    competition with INGRES at Morgan Guarantee in New York. The bank's
    corporate standard for databases is INGRES and they are just beginning
    to consider alternatives for key projects locally. If this opportunity
    flys, Rdb/VMS could unseat INGRES worldwide (in the long run, of
    course).
    
    Thanks,
    
    	Jose

| 628.5 | Agree, need amunition against Ingres | IJSAPL::OLTHOF | Henny Olthof @UTO 838-2021 | Fri May 04 1990 08:30 | 10 | 
|  |     True what has been said, we've been given so many arguments that we can
    use to convince customers NOT to buy Oracle or Sybase that we forget
    about Ingres. Personally I was involved in a number of situations
    where we successfully combatted against Oracle but lost against Ingres.
    
    Its probably hard to find solid arguments against Ingres because it's
    capabilities are superior to those of Oracle but still we should try.

| 628.7 | It's Heeeere | BANZAI::BOOTH | What am I?...An Oracle? | Sat Jun 02 1990 22:10 | 8 | 
|  |     The Ingres competitive fact sheet is now in the
    NOVA::PM01:[booth.public] directory. The file name is (creatively)
    Ingres_competitive.ps. Like the others, it is a PostScript file. Sorry,
    but I'll try, that's try, to get these things in ASCI if I get the
    time. There is currently no migration between ASCI and Cricket on the
    MAC where these things are created.

| 628.8 | Now what? | MBALDY::LANGSTON | Rdb Sales Support Mercenary | Tue Sep 11 1990 03:53 | 10 | 
|  | Now that Michael has left the company, I noticed that his files in 
nova::pm01:[booth.public] have been removed, as well.
Where have the gone?  Is there going to be an official keeper of the competitive
fact sheets, et al?  Gil??
I'd volunteer to do it, but I don't have a Mac.  Hey, that gives me an idea...
Just kidding.
