<snip> The big move now is to take the existing app and merge it with Oracle, SQL or leave it in Unidata. The R18 release will allow the users to choose which database they wish. The code will stay in envision and talk via a middle level translator which passes instructions out to the selected db. We have been a Beta for the Oracle instance and it seems to work ok (meaning no more bugs than you would suspect for any other Enterprise app.) </snip>
I have a question about his. If the Envision tool kit is written in Universe, and the database will be Oracle, how will the Envision programs work? Won't you still need to have a Universe license to retrieve the Envision data? Frankly the Datatel interface and the bad taste it leaves in college students mouths is one of Oracles strongest marketing ploys. No more bugs than any other Enterprise app? Datatel has to release hundreds of patches a year. At least 3 a week. and they expect you to test them before you install them. And will not support you unless you are fully patched. If Datatel is the flagship for U2, we deserve to be sunk.
