| 815.2 | what's the latest? | ZPOVC::JEFFREYCHOY | Love the Sinners hate the sins | Tue Dec 04 1990 09:00 | 10 | 
|  |     Hi,
    
    Infact I used to distribute copies of this Martin Butler report on Rdb.
    Unfortunately, I no longer have any copy left for myself. I think
    this report by now ,almost a year or more old is not too up-to-date. 
    Besides, new features like 2PC is not included.
    
    Thanks anyway, Jeffrey

| 815.3 | New reports from ButlerBloor, any other reports? | IJSAPL::OLTHOF | Henny Olthof @UTO 838-2021 | Tue Dec 04 1990 09:43 | 13 | 
|  |     Anyway, the ButlerBloor report is sold-out (has been for the last two
    months). The same authors have written two new reports
    
    - 4GL's: An Evaluation and Comparison
    - Database: An Evaluation and Comparison
    
    In the first one, mainly portable tools are discussed (no Rally), the
    second report is less positive about Rdb tham the first one (stating
    that the DLM causes performance problems), Still Rdb is among the
    systems best for Large TP applications and among the products with best
    overall functionality.
    
    If you can spend the money, get a copy of both reports

| 815.4 | in time | NOVA::NEEDLEMAN | no good deed goes unpunished | Thu Dec 06 1990 18:15 | 16 | 
|  |     The butlerbloor report IS being updated for 4.0. It will be available
    in Northboro shortly after 4.0 ships.
    In the CIS system is also an older Rdb 3.0 MIC report.
    Updated copies are also due for purchase after shipping.
    Your customer could always hire an independent consultant LIKE a Martin
    Butler or a Rich Finkelstein if they are close to a decision and are
    willing  to spend the money to get reinforcement for the Rdb choice.
    In the meantime, look at the magazines and trade press following our
    Nov. 5th announcement. Good backup material.

    research library perhaps.
