UNIX orientation really shows. Consider more seriously for Networks with small UNIX machines and the occasional MS-Windows client. CA-Ingres Features Platforms Unix, VMS, some Windows tools. Good points Great default front-end tools for Quick and Dirty. Easy mixing of 4GL and C code.
Poor points Seems to have lost the plot a bit over the last couple of years.
Reputation as having a brittle engine. Other Comments Do not confuse this commercial product with University Ingres, which still uses quel, comes on Linux disks, etc. Back to top of file Interbase Vendor Borland Features Pretty standard triggers, procedures, alerters, etc. The matrix types can be up to 16 dimensions. Not as well known as some other engines, so not as widely supported by other vendors.
