Sure! Here you go. Progress published it's own features comarison of Progress 9 DB VS. Oracle 9i DB. If you look at the columns in the features matrix for both databases (enterprise edition) you will see all check marks for Oracle, and A LOT OF BLANKS for Progress...

Being from the US, of course I had no idea what HNC is. After google-ing it, I see that it is some sort of college level training/degree in the UK. If that is the extent of your 'experience', then you have none. I've been WORKING in IT for over 20 years, and have REAL WORKING KNOWLEDGE of what...

I often hear this excuse, that makreting is what has caused Progress to be so unknown. Let me ask you, do you have any experience with another DBMS, such as Oracle, SQL Server for DB2? I suspect not, because those of us who do have experience with Progress, Oracle and SQL Server KNOW FOR A FACT...

Jane, the advice being given here is good. If you have a choice, stay with Oracle. As a DBA, when you think of major RDBMS's (Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, Sybase, etc.), do NOT think PROGRESS. In terms of features and functionality, Progress database is closer to MS Access than it is to Oracle...

Joey, the religous statement was an analogy. I don't think he's turning this into a religous war. The term "Distributed Architecture" infers more than one machine is involved, so your statement makes no sense. Besides. I was just responding to your statement - "you can distribute the work...

Use the progress data server for Oracle. You can connect directly to the Oracle database using the 4gl editor, and simply write a progress program to copy the data to the oracle database.

Amen, BCM. I am also tired of running into the day-to-day frustrations of the limitations of Progress. I had said from the beginning, I think the 4GL language is strong, but the database absolutely stinks. Just recently, in our V9 environment, our database crashed due to a database extent...

Are you aware that you can accomplish paraller processing with Oracle, on the SAME machine, provided there are at least 2 CPU's?

Last I knew, Progress has horrible performance problems over a WAN. Has that changed with .net? There are countless ways to develop an app against an Oracle database, using both Oracle's development tools and third party app dev. tools, unlike Progress. It is well known, Progress only works...

This is one of the most frustrating things that I see over & over again. Stating that the Progress DB & Oracle DB are comparable proves that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. I am reposting what I posted earlier. Apparently you missed it. After reading this, tell me you...

I'm glad so hear people who have knowledge of both Progess & Oracle stepping up and saying what is a fact. True about Progress on Windows - we have a Progress App on a windows sever, and we have it scheduled to re-boot once a week. sometimes that is not even enough. And yeah, we have Progress...

I don't know how many people on this thread have extensive knowledge about both Progress & Oracle. I have 12 years exp. as a Progress developer/DBA, and 7 years as an Oracle DBA. I will admit the Progress 4GL language is superior to SQLPlus & PL/SQL, but the Progress DBMS is no match for the...

We are running MFG/PRO 9.0/Progress 8.3D/HP-UX 11.0. We would like to migrate to eB desktop 1 for MFG/PRO 9.0. We are also heavily customized - about 1700 programs - reports, inquiries and maintenance programs. A lot are modified QAD source, and the rest is our own code. We also have a side...

Sorry - db dblocksize is 8192 - therefore -B =750Mb Also, have 3 other databases on the system, for a total of 1.4 Gb of RAM allocated via "-B". BI cluster size is 4096, and BI Blocksize is 8192. -L is large because QAD writes code that will actually lock that many records. I also...

Here are the startup params for our main database: -L 250000 -B 93750 -c 250 -n 450 -spin 4000 -bibufs 150 -Mf 25 -H rhin4000 -S hwrusa -N tcp -tablebase 1 -tablelimit 364 -aibufs 225 -bithold 890 -bistall The dump & loads I am referring to took place over a period of about 5 years. We do...

I am considering returning to a traditional disk sub-system made up of a bunch of small (18 or 36 gig) HP or Seagate disks instead of continuing to operate with our EMC Symmetrix system. Our configuration: HP-UX 11.0 Progress 8.3D (24 gb database, 80 - 300mb exts.) MFG/PRO 9.0 N4000 with...
