Bill, So you have a fast quick Oracle or DB2 solution that doesn't involve pulling teeth or a learning curve and is cost effective and machine independent ?
Let me know the stock symbol ! Perhaps all the people who are touting Oracle and SQL Server should go develop in them and they can try competing with Peoplesoft , JD Edwards, SAP et al. The strength of U2/mvDbms lies in the ease of development and the fact that the apps run forever requiring very little support. Try running some of those other systems without a DBA and a Unix/Windows technician available on a very regular basis.

In addition knowledge seems to be locked up and there are so many proprietary solutions to simple problems. Developers often have to pull teeth to solve some basic problems. Every business problem requiring an mvDbms solution seems to entail a steep learning curve (kind of like Linux and networking). Since the mvDbms vendors aren't interested in long-term revenue but in short-term profits I doubt whether this will change. So, in the long-term we'll all have to migrate off of the dbms (or die first). :-) Bill > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Phil Walker > Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2005 5:18 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: [U2] uv pe > > Questions: > > Why can't end users access the knowledgebase? > Why isn't their developer versions of the U2 products, as it is the > developers you generate UV license sales, not IBM? > > I can pay $900.00 NZD per year, and get a copy of MS Sql Server 2000, > MS Exchange, MS SBS, 10 CALS for MS Professional XP, 10 CALS for MS > Office 2003, Sharepoint Portal, MS 2003 Server, MS 2003 Web Edition > all to use for demos or in house to run my business. > > Some people may wonder why you would develop something in U2? > > Cheers, > > Phil Walker > +64 27 5336294 > +64 3 3120352 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Gnosys Consulting Limited > 25 Roscrea Place, Mandeville North, RD2 Kaiapoi, North Canterbury > 8252, NEW ZEALAND ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the Inbound TSH Mail Filter Please Report any issues to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
