Hi Don -- Yes, I have experience with UniData, SQL and SQL DBMS's, and I now work in Cache' However, I have only a very tiny bit of experience with SB and none with a conversion from SB+UniData to Cache'. Certainly I have a deep fondness for U2, but I had to make a good business decision a couple of years ago and I have not looked back (but still come here for some camaraderie ) plus I still do some work related to UniData and other MV tools.
There are some good videos on youtube that I watched a while back that are in the MultiValueTubes channel (that I just noticed yesterday) at http://www.youtube.com/user/MultiValueTubes regarding the benefits of Cache' for MV shops. <http://www.youtube.com/user/MultiValueTubes>My experience with Cache' is very positive. I think most sites would be well-served to take a look and see if they like the idea of doing MV (Cache' has a Universe-like flavor and people have migrated from many different MV platforms) while having more features than any other MV DBMS, I dare say (I'm thinking that if I showed you some things you would say "you can do that almost out of the box with a MultiValue database and no add-ons???!!!). Feel free to contact me offlist. I would be happy to give you my assessment including both pros and cons. --dawn On Sat, Apr 9, 2011 at 10:07 AM, Don Verhagen < [email protected]> wrote: > Group, > > I want to ask if anyone has had any experience with Cache and also has > experience with U2 and SQL.
