Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the reason for so much interest in SQL that so many people in the work force are trained to make queries using SQL? Isn't the issue writing an interface that allows SQL queries of a Mumps database. Isn't that what that company in Massachusetts (

Exactly Kevin. I've seen this asked many times and I'm wondering do installer miss this step In the install guide? Note the alternative solution works only in a fully licensed cache NOT the single user free downloadable version. Highlight LOCALTCP-VISTA, then File, Open and enter %ZOSV.INT.

It looks to me like it is looking for mumps direct in you user routines, not your /usr/local/gtm/o directory, which also does not seem to be in the statement about where to look. I think that it needs to read like this: gtmroutines= /usr/local/OpenVistA/o /home/kdt0p/OpenVistA_UserData/o

I'm sure that's a big part of it. Though every product out there seems to have its own flavor of SQL, using a relational database does offer a common model, and I suppose knowledge of MySQL (say), is more transferable to Oracle than it is to Fileman -- though, in fact, I think Fileman is much more

It may be useful to have a newbie library/toolkit howto somewhere on one of the wiki's or documentation sites. I'm learned M off of two books (which aren't VistA specific) and just a lot of pouring over VistA. Having this information to fill up my bag of tricks would be useful on the M side.
