. . . except that you haven't done anything to answer the original question, from Itschak: " I spoke few days ago with an ADABAS specialist that claimed that ADABAS is much faster and has low overhead compared to IMS and DB2. Is this true?"
Radoslaw and Allan, among others, have actually attempted answers. So far, all you have done is say "Nuh,uh. They don't know what they're talking about." I have insulted nothing and no one. All I have done is ask for a more constructive answer than the above. Jon <snip> I do not subscribe to this list to "take a Pot Shot at any one" but as they taught me in the "Dale Carnegie courses" many years a'go, you should always state your point clearly otherwise some people might not "get it".. The Point I was trying to make : Would you subscribe to the "embryonic stem cells research" email list and then propose to Oliver Smithies, Martin Evans and Mario Capecchi what to do ? Summary: Yes, I have been working with Adabas, IMS and DB2 for the last 30 years. Even went back to IBM 4 years a'go to do all the DB2 courses in Dallas but then again, if you where subscribed to any of the Database email lists, I would not have to introduce myself to you. Note: These postings I had a "pot shot at" was people making statements about things they knew nothing about.... zero.. zippo ..... Maybe their wives/grandmothers would be impressed with their statements but please, do not expect us to "clap" on an "IBM Technical list"... You are insulting my intelligence, my experience and everything I got paid for, for the last 30 years. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
