Unless you have very deep pockets and a very high frustration tolerance, I wouldn't spend a lot of time on that environment. There's a lot more opportunity on non-z/OS platforms, and the sweet spot for something like this is offloading the UI MIPS from CPs to IFLs, keeping the data management on z/OS. > I consider a major piece of my > KICKS to Linux port to be providing vsam functionality in that world and I'm > presenting thinking to base my 'vsam' on sqlite.

It does have some performance issues at high loads, but that's true for sqlite on all platforms. You may want to look at mongoDB instead. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
