Sprint projects tend to be 4GL projects as they can be implemented quickly. How do we determine the projects implemented at a sprint?...

A C# application using the .NET Data Provider or a Java application using the JDBC Driver communicates to the Ingres or Vectorwise data sources through the Data Access Server (DAS). The application must specify in its connection string the hostname and the listen port for the DAS. The DAS listens on a network protocol port which is configured when the Ingres or Vectorwise instance is first installed. The port can be referenced by either its TCP/IP numeric port number or by an equivalent symbolic...

Until recently, it has been nearly impossible to bridge the UTF-8 (Unicode) world, which is required in Vectorwise, with non-UTF-8 data in the Ingres family of products (Ingres DBMS, OpenROAD, etc). Client and server installations both had to use a character set of UTF-8, or neither! This is no longer the case with the new transliteration support added to Vectorwise 2.5. Interoperability is greatly enhanced by addition of this feature.

Got a big data project coming up? Does it have lots of data, needs to be scalable, potentially with many users who will access the system at any time of the day? Better go shopping for an expensive cluster solution or load balancing software, right? Not necessarily. Another approach may work for you, as explained in this article.

A recent Vectorwise project required support for a large number of users running complex (select) queries against large, mostly static databases. Due...

An OpenROAD Code Sprint will be held at the Actian office in Langen (near Frankfurt) Germany from Oct 9th to 11th, 2012.

The Code Sprint is an ideal opportunity to meet and work together with engineers from Actian’s OpenROAD Worldwide Development group.

This is your chance to get the fix/change/feature you need or want into the OpenROAD product.

The OpenROAD Code Sprint is being held in conjunction with the German Ingres User Association (GIUA) event....
