Hello,

On Unidata, is there an equivalent of D3's SYSTEM(19)?

Thanks

Reality will allow you to store the data on Oracle etc.

Do you know if there is a flavor of the type-it-in multivalue query language
(e.g. UniQuery) that can be executed against data stored in Oracle, DB2, SQL
Server, etc?  I know that DataBASIC can be with jBASE and ONGroup, for
example.

Subject: Jbase handles multivalue on RDBMS

Hi Steve

Just to correct you, jbase does not require you to move to 1NF files to
run on an RDBMS.  Jbase will port multi dimensional data across to an
RDBMS and automatically handle the conversion to multiple tables
invisible to the application.  The issue is in the quality of the
dictionary, like lengths and data types that RDBMS do not handle
breaking the rules.  Jbase does handle a lot of these issues and I would
assume IBM will incorporate that in U2.  Also in such an environment you
would not move all your files over to an RDBMS, it would make sense to
leave work files and control files in Universe which are usualy the
worst offenders.  If you wish to make your application portable in a
future environment like this, look at SQLising your files including
multivalues and starting cleaning your data as this will be your biggest
issue, not multivalues.

Just another point, jbase does the same for Cache, which is another
multi-dimensional database, although not PICK.

Regards

David Jordan

The way that jBase handles the problem is by requiring the database be
flattened out (i.e., no multivalues) and strict data typing. This is of
course the standard with 1NF databases. Unfortunately for most of us, it
means a complete redesign of the existing mv database structure. Over
the past several years, all new systems that I have developed have used
1NF. Still most of the data still uses multivalues and would take years
to convert. :-)

Don't forget the 80/20 rule.  80% of the work gets done by 20% of the
people.

 Good point!!  I currently sit on a Volunteer Board (Treasurer no less) -
and
 as anyone who does this will likely attest - there is nothing like working
 on a volunteer Board to make you fear for (or despise g) humanity in
 general!  The number of after-the fact non-volunteers pointing out what we
 *should* have done is always staggering...

 But I'm sure my turn will come for service to the U2 community...  Until
 then, let me tell you what you *should* have done... g

 Don't put 'volunteer' in the past tense. We will be looking for SIG
 leaders soon, we will be looking for forum moderators soon, and we will be
 transitioning to an elected board. There's always work for more hands in
an
 organization of this type. If IBM keeps growing the U2 market (and it
seems
 to be growing as we speak) then there will only be more need in the
future,
 not less.
