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

Understanding the Port Keyword in the .NET Data Provider/JDBC Connection String

Posted 2012-11-30 at 08:33 AM by teresa

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...

Transliteration Feature Opens New Door to Vectorwise Big Data

Interoperability is greatly enhanced by addition of this feature.

Scalable Load Balancing “On a Dime” with .NET Connection Pooling

Posted 2012-10-17 at 02:20 PM by teresa
Updated 2012-10-19 at 09:18 AM by teresa

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...
