I recently heard the story about how PL/1 got its name. I heard this recently from my brother who worked with the son of the inventor of APL, Kenneth E. Iverson.

I'll save you a little trouble. Here's the Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pick_operating_system. Nowadays, it's generally referred to as a multi-valued database, and several companies have implemented the DB portion of it onto various OS - quite a few for Unix/Linux. Even IBM had a version (U2) that they recently sold off to a company that was actually willing to give it some attention. In the gray-haired contest, I once had access to a Victor PC -- essentially a IBM clone with its own OS. Most notable that I remember - besides the domino game that cheated - was their spreadsheet program, VictorCalc. It was a 3-dimensional spreadsheet: rows, columns, and pages, essentially creating a sort of cube. You could pick the edge you viewed the data by. For example, normal was page view where you saw row x column, but you could rotate the data and see row x page, or column x page. Great for financials, each page was a year, columns were months/quarters, rows were account (or whatever). A new year comes along, create a new page. You could rotate to column view, and instantly see how each month compared across the years. Or rotate to row view and see how a particular account fluctuated over each month/year cycle. It was kinda neat. __ Confidentiality Notice: This Transmission (including any attachments) may contain information that is privileged, confidential, and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.

RE: [OT] RE: Tomcat Consultant
For the end user, it was just another field in the data dictionary for the table. The actual entry would be a line of code which was really a function call: TRANS(lookup_table_name,lookup_id,return_field,not_found_code) That last entry was a code that told the run-time engine what to return if the lookup_id was not found. The run-time engine had some tricks to make this efficient. The data dictionary basically defined two type of entries: D for data, which had a field# (column) to return, and I for Interpreted, so you could add calculations directly to the dictionary. The translate/lookup was one, but you could put anything expression there, even call complicated self-written functions, or if statements, etc. It used the same language that you wrote programs in. A standard example would be an extended cost. The entry would just be QTY * COST. The idea was that the DBA defined everything you might want to use. If you needed a new calculation, it could be added to the dictionary rather quickly and available immediately. At later releases, primarily to support SQL queries, they added the ability to add Trans functions and code in-line with the query, so you could by-pass the DBA if necessary, but it was suggested to do this primarily as a dev/debug step. It was faster if it was compiled into the dictionary. You further defined in the dictionary things such as precision, display length, etc. Therefore, you could have more that one dictionary entries pointing to the same field or calculation, but returning slightly different results. Now true PICK, defined the dictionary types as A for attribute (field/column), and S for Stack. The S-type was the calculated field, and all work was done using a calculation stack. It was also how you did table lookups. These could get really complicated. I put a number up there with the one-line obfuscated C programs some folks are so proud of. -Original Message- From: Martin Gainty [mailto:mgai...@hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, September 30, 2010 9:51 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: [OT] RE: Tomcat Consultant i would be interested in what administration overhead with this translate_entry table if your goal is a lexicographical approach you could pull the data dictionary build routines from a search engine such as lucene or solr..that way you could handle modifiers such as adjectives and or adverbs with exception of BBN's dictionary i havent seen any products which address the need an interesting digression!

RE: [OT] RE: Tomcat Consultant
Cartensian joins were an impossibility. I got my join modifiers mixed up. Everything was like a standard? join, essentially the 2nd 3rd parameters of the function became the (where this_table.field_name = lookup_table.field_name ) construct of an SQL where. I meant the overhead was essentially the same as a relational DB doing a non-Cartesian join. So for a field named inv_amount defined as trans(invoices,inv_id,amount,'x') in customer table, in SQL-speak becomes select c.cust_name, c.inv_id, i.amount from customer c, invoices i where c.inv_id+ = i.invoice_id; In Pick-speak: select cust_name, inv_id, inv_amount from customer Add sorting, grouping, totaling, limits, etc. as necessary. Notice, if the customer didn't have any invoices it still created a line of output, thus the left-join syntax in the SQL version. Also, the database was designed with nested tables in mind, so the inv_id field could contain multiple values, essentially a list of all that customer's invoice ids. Also, it only contained single-column primary keys, and the trans function always did compares against the PK. If you needed multi-column PKs, you could do it, but had to code for it yourself. Of course, nobody really uses multi-column PKs right? (Note, even for Pick, the above is a bad example, since an invoice ID list could get huge, thus slowing access to the regular data. Data was stored as delimited strings of varying lengths. You could, however, work around it physically, but still have it appear logically this way.) -Original Message- From: Martin Gainty [mailto:mgai...@hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, September 30, 2010 12:30 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: [OT] RE: Tomcat Consultant i agree ..caching works well for previously referenced entities natural joins work if the column names are identical that is table1.engineering==table2.engineering but engineering==eng would not work for natural join and consequently fallback to cartesian join which would of course slow the query to a crawl an interesting digression Martin __ Verzicht und Vertraulichkeitanmerkung/Note de déni et de confidentialité Diese Nachricht ist vertraulich.

It was really nice to work in something like PL/P for that stuff. I'm not sure what you meant by PIC OS, unless you meant the Pick Database model, which was originally implemented as a combined OS/DB setup. Prime did offer a version of the DB model, called INFORMATION, which ran on the standard OS. It was a really nice rapid deployment engine. They also had a version of Oracle available for it, though I never used it. I had used some other 3rd-party relational DB products, and INFORMATION ran rings around them. The Pick data model was designed with standard business data in mind, so it had some useful features that ran fairly fast.

Re: [OT] RE: Tomcat Consultant
I think you are completely lost, none of the big 5 could bill below 200$/hr and survive paying the big building and the big bosses, 100$/hr is what the sub-contractors are billing them. I did work for one of these in the 90's and they already billed between 200-300$/hr at that time, this is 20 years ago. And what are the lawyer's rates like in the commercial area? Don't you believe having a working business infrastructure worth something or not? I mean, lawyers are there to have the business legal terms working and the IT consultant having the business infrastructure working. Does it compare or not?

Re: [OT] RE: Tomcat Consultant
Jeffrey, PL/I had a lot of stuff in that most people never even knew about, and those could take a while before getting in to it. But the basics could be mastered fast enough. I have heard two reasons for PL/I not taking a better market share. 1. was an IBM product, and IBM was trying to hard to control it. 2. the compiler was really bad and generated some very ineffective machine code at a time when hardware cost . But no question that PL/I was a fantastic language for developers!

Just so you know (in case our web pages don't clearly state this), Tcat is about trying to make it easier to use open source Tomcat in production enterprise environments. It's not, in any way, trying to replace open source Tomcat, nor is it a Java EE app server. By making it easier to monitor and manage the open source Tomcat instances people already run in production via our Tcat Server console, we're helping Tomcat to be easier to use, more stable, and to perform better in production due to increased stability and visibility. In case you want to try it, it's free (as in beer) to download. You get the full version. If you like it enough to deploy and use it in your production environment, that's when it begins to cost, but it's free for use in your development environment, test environment, and staging. It hooks up to any Tomcat 5.5.x, 6.0.x, and 7.0.x beta. We'd like to know what you think of it once you've tried it. MuleSoft also offers training and consulting on Tomcat, though we're mainly focused on Tcat and the Mule open source ESB. Cheers. -- Jason Brittain Co-Author, Tomcat: The Definitive Guide (O'Reilly) On Fri, Sep 24, 2010 at 12:26 PM, Christopher Schultz ch...@christopherschultz.net wrote: Brian, On 9/24/2010 2:29 PM, Brian wrote: This company LOOKS like specialists: http://www.mulesoft.com/tomcat-support I've never heard of Tcat, supposedly the Apache Tomcat app server for the enterprise.

I hadn't ever heard of Tcat, though I tend to run a vanilla Tomcat without even the standard webapps loaded, and we don't do any instrumentation outside of our webapp, so I've never had occasion to look into things such as Tcat. Just so you know (in case our web pages don't clearly state this), Tcat is about trying to make it easier to use open source Tomcat in production enterprise environments. I didn't realize that Tcat was a re-packaging of Tomcat... it sounded as if your company was claiming that running Tomcat in an enterprise environment required your product (in marketing-speak, of course). Hence, the aspersions cast your direction. It's not, in any way, trying to replace open source Tomcat, nor is it a Java EE app server. By making it easier to monitor and manage the open source Tomcat instances people already run in production via our Tcat Server console, we're helping Tomcat to be easier to use, more stable, and to perform better in production due to increased stability and visibility.

Re: Tomcat Consultant
At least two of the regular supporters of this mailing list work in spring source and one is one of the main committers to the tomcat project. To me that speaks wonders for the company. I've been trying to get my company to get them in for consultation too. To no avail.

Re: Tomcat Consultant
Hey, you don't need a Big-5 consulting company. You need a a couple of experts: a networking guy and a Tomcat guy. But anyway, I'm sure a Fortune 500 have the money to overpay one of the Big-5. Now, from my understanding, Tomcat is only a web app container while Websphere is an application server. Therefore, depending on your application you may not be able to migrate it to Tomcat, but rather to Glassfish. Glassfish is also an application server. -Jorge On Fri, Sep 24, 2010 at 1:57 PM, Christopher Schultz ch...@christopherschultz.net wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 To whom it may concern, On 9/24/2010 1:25 PM, tdelesio wrote: My fortune 500 company is testing a pilot for switching over a J2EE web app over from Web Sphere application server to Tomcat and we are looking for a consultant to setup a crusted production instance of tomcat.

Re: Tomcat Consultant

They hired me out of Montreal on Friday, had me in Denver on Sunday and spending 2 weeks in a training center so I could become an instant 'expert' they could hire out for big $$$ on different projects. Then I spent 3 months at home while they tried to get some contacts, and then got canned when they couldn't, then the guys who hired me got canned ...

Glassfish is also an application server. -Jorge On Fri, Sep 24, 2010 at 1:57 PM, Christopher Schultz ch...@christopherschultz.net wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 To whom it may concern, On 9/24/2010 1:25 PM, tdelesio wrote: My fortune 500 company is testing a pilot for switching over a J2EE web app over from Web Sphere application server to Tomcat and we are looking for a consultant to setup a crusted production instance of tomcat.

Re: Tomcat Consultant
Just to mess with you, it's really PL/I ... It was a fantastic, leading edge language that should have had a much better future than it really did. - Original Message - From: Donald Winston satchwins...@yahoo.com To: Tomcat Users List users@tomcat.apache.org Sent: Friday, September 24, 2010 9:53 PM Subject: Re: Tomcat Consultant I was a PL-I expert. That's why I know it's spelled PL-I (roman numerals not arabic.

Lots of room for doing a crash-and-burn ... Back when I started in the business in 1982 I had to learn PL-1, the best darned language that never managed to get a good market share. It was said that it took four years to really learn how to use it.
