Prime became a database powerhouse with the product at one time encompassing almost 50% of the database business in the US. From what I heard Vmark was a group of users of Prime Information that decided to go UNIX so they developed UniVerse borrowing much of the expertise from Prime to build a product that would ride on UNIX instead of Primos, Prime's operating system. They even took over some of the offices that Prime had on Speen Street. When Prime went under, don't ask why, at the end of the 80's, early 90's, Vmark bought Prime Information. Actually, I don't think Pr1me bought the right to develop independently. iirc, the group developing GIRLS (Public Domain, btw, as all software developed for the US gov then was) split in two, with Dick forming Pick Systems as one half. The Devcom guys then split off from the other half and were sued (like pretty much everyone else) by Dick. The lawsuit then concluded that the Devcom guys had as much rights as the Pick guys (bear in mind also, that Devcom was a re-implementation, not a derivative). Which is why Pick Systems ended up picking off and taking over all the derivative versions, but not the re-implementations. I wasn't aware of INFORMATION owning a large chunk of the US market, after all, they were up against Oracle and DB2 in their own back yard, but it was Pr1me Australia that licenced PI from Devcom, and they ended up pretty much owning the Aussie market. I didn't think they bought Devcom out - Devcom might have turned into Revelation, but they did buy the (joint) copyright to PI. Again iirc, I think the deal was joint copyright, co-develop, PI on Pr1me and Devcom elsewhere.

Re: [U2] How to check data dictionary?
Symeon,
As a long time Pickie, I thought that I would point out that there is a
short-cut that is supported on most multi-value flavours which saves some
concatenation, for instance :
CRT SPACE(15):AREC.HDR1,1'R#10 ':AREC.HDR1,2'R#10 ':AREC.HDR1,3'R#10
':AREC.HDR1,4'R#10 ' ':AREC.HDR1,5'R#10'
CRT Attribute :X'R#4 ':ARECX,1'R#10 ':ARECX,2'R#10 ':ARECX,3'R#10
':ARECX,4'R#10 ':ARECX,5'R#10'
You can add the space after the format string and save yourself some
keystrokes.
Mike

Subject: [U2] How to check data dictionary?
Dear ALL
We are working on UNIDATA version 6 and we need your guide line.
One of the table is having many multivalve columns but by LISTDICT I can
not see. These columns have data but vendor program is showing all
columns data. As I do not know column name then let me know how to see
the other columns? May I need to update dictionary to table to see
column name or suggest any other ways
By LISTDICT I can not see all column names.
My questions are:-
1) How to check data dictionary?
2) How to select / extract data form this tables ( for all columns like
oracle select * from )?
3) How to remove extra space from column ( like oracle Trim() )
Your suggestions are most well-come and waiting for your positive reply.

Tony, Because, for those of you who can't break themselves away from your existing platform(s), it will work with the one you are already using. mv.NET definitely is more than a class library.

Hey Mike - what's with the BlueFinity label, why not just send them here?: http://www.jbase.com/products/mvnet.html Now I'm confused about mv.NET. The diagrams and details make it look like a class library but the text in the bluefinity website makes it look like a RAD environment nested within Visual Studio.

Oh well, we don't really get hot babes when we buy a car either. To answer Bill's question - yes - depending on how you code it, the back-end can be platform and technology independent of the client.

[U2] [jBASE] .Net Provider not needed
Dawn, Speaking of jBASE, you don't need RD's .NET provider with jBASE, as you can connect to it natively. It shows how much RD knows about their competitor's products though, when they are offering jBASE users the opportunity to trade-in their jBASE seats for D3 seats, just for the privilege of being able to use the .NET provider to do something they can do already without it !

Wolthuis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 17, 2004 4:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [U2] .Net Provider for Unidata or Universe I understand your concern about RD, but I think the recommendation of the RD .NET solution is a valid one, even if not the only possibility on the horizon. I don't think Mr. Gravagno makes any dollars on sales of the RD product, but if he does, then you have a valid complaint and he should put [AD] in the subject line. While Raining Data is a competitor of IBM U2 on the one hand (with D3), it is also a company that provides viable third party solutions for U2 customers. Encouraging third-parties who write tools for the U2 environment, as well as VARs who write applications, is all good for the U2 community of developers. Even if I were waiting for IBM's .NET solution, I would welcome RD's because it is already out there and working, so IBM has a mark to hit. Competing solutions will help us, I would think. Additionally, I'm guessing (but could be wrong) that RD has an easier time having a good relationship with Microsoft than IBM does, even if IBM can put more resources toward a solution. If another third party provided the same solution for U2 customers that RD currently does, would you have this same reaction or is it because RD (by whatever name) is a long time competitor of the U2 databases? (UniData and UniVerse used to be competitors too ;-) If there were a conference where all U2 customers, VARs, and third-parties were present, there would be many competitors in the room (jBASE, onGroup, and Raining Data, for example) and the more of that there is, the healthier our branch of the industry is, I would think.
