   Is  anyone  actively  selling  mv  data base systems?  Does IBM have
a
   proactive  sales  program for the U2 products?  What is the
forecasted
   increase (decrease) in mv installations?

We get ours through PPI, www.pickpro.com. A very good and helpful company. 
We did not buy Universe as an imbedded database, all of our apps are built 
in-house so they can be tailored to what we do.

Re: [U2] To DIM a passed Matrix or not ?

2006-03-06 Thread Jacques G.
I've seen the following:

SUBROUTINE FOO(MAT FOOBAR)
   DIM FOOBAR(100)
   [... some code]
RETURN

In Universe, it isn't necessary to DIM a matrix that
has been passed in a subroutine.  So my question is,
are there MV flavors where it is neccessary to do so ?

[U2] Do lunch or dinner while at Long Beach Spectrum conference?

2006-03-06 Thread Stevenson, Charles
I'm not attending the conference this year, but I live close by, so
except for a pre-existing Thursday 7PM commitment, I'd be up for lunch
or dinner.

Respond on- or off-list.

I'm pretty sure we cannot get a complete answer to the last question,
but I do have the list of MV companies with links (Wendy -- I did that
for you) at

http://www.tincat-group.com/mewsings/2006/02/list-of-girls.html

All of these would claim to be proactive in their marketing, while I
would suggest that there are two to four of them that are not.  IBM is
definitely both proactive in their marketing and growing.  Cache' is
about to launch their MV product and I suspect they will be one of the
few (joining Revelation, for example) to market direclty to
end-customers rather than only through VARs.  So I'm hopeful there
will be some real advertising in non-MV places where IT folks might
actually see them.

While IBM's MV space is growing, I don't know if there is a net gain
of MV VARS and suspect there is not.  I suspect that IBM's growth in
the U2 area is due to VAR growth combined, perhaps, with migrations
from D3 or other MV products.

I also suspect (predict) that the non-SQL-RDBMS databases (those that
do not require 1NF and use a two-valued, rather than 3-valued logic,
such as U2 and XML dbms's) will grow more in comparison to the growth
of RDBMS products in the next five years than they did in the last
five.

I don't know if that answers your question, but thought I'd give my two cents.

2006-03-06 Thread will
   Thanks for the excellent answer, Dawn.  I think that we all need to be
   proactive  in  promoting the technology in which we have so many years
   invested.   It's  effective, intuitive and ... just won't be buried in
   the  onslaught  of  alphabet  soup  contenders.  I was hoping that IBM
   would  give  us  a  heads  up  on  their  plans.  Are they looking for
   salespeople  to  market  MV?   I  think we have some good ones on this
   list!
