[[ This message is the entire digest. If you aren't interested in
database software for the Sun, then you can skip this digest. --wnl ]]
Attached is the latest availability information for most of the major DBMS
vendors. Our intent is to update this every couple of months. The
vendors included are Information Builders (Focus), Informix, Interbase,
Oracle, RTI, Sybase, and Unify. This information was provided and
verified by the responsible vendor Product Manager. Hopefully each vendor
has updated their own field organizations with targeted release dates, but
we have seen this is not always the case. It is definitely not our intent
to contradict the DBMS vendor - we encourage you to involve the local DBMS
vendor people in sales situations when that is what the customer wants.
If you get contradictory information from the local DBMS vendor
representatives, then contact SSD Marketing (Nancy Colwell, Margo Davis,
Kevin Moultrup) to help resolve it with the relevant DBMS vendor corporate
marketing people. We encourage you all to share DBMS information and
problems on dba at kauai.
thx, Mike Scott, SSD Database Engineering Manager

-There are several products listed above. The following attempts to
contrast them:
Unify 4.0: Most recent Unify version of the DBMS Unify has been selling
for years. Until very recently Unify has not been allowed to
sell this on Sun hardware unless included with ACCELL. This
version does not support transparent network access (also
called RDA or remote database access).
ACCELL 1.4: Application generation system sold by Unify for use with
Unify 4.0 or SunUnify 3.0.
SunUnify 3.0: Sun's version of Unify 3.2 with the ERIC interface,
network support (RDA), and a few features/bug fixes from
Unify 4.0. Unify will take over the selling and support
of this product on SunOS 4.X-based versions on the Sun-3/
4/386i at the end of CalQ2 (NOT Sun-2 or SunOS 3.X).
SunSimplify 1.1 was also shipped along with SunUnify 3.0.
Stay tuned to announcements from SPD regarding new Simplify
developements. There will be a migration path for existing
SunUnify 3.0 customers to Unify 2000 with ERIC/RDA at the
end of 1989 for those SunUnify customers that need the
power of Unify 2000.
Unify 2000 1.0: New DBMS with much greater power, performance, SQL support,
reliability, and functionality than the existing Unify 4.0
or SunUnify 3.0 products. The initial release will not
include an ERIC or RDA interface.
ACCELL/SQL: Version of ACCELL specifically targeted for Unify 2000.
-SunUnify 3.0/SunSimplify 1.1 were removed from Sun's price list 12/88.
Unify Corporation is now gearing up to sell and support these products
late in CalQ2, so there is a window of 6 months where orders cannot
be placed. Sun will support existing SunUnify/SunSimplify customers as
late as 12/31/89, although as soon as Unify is ready, we want want to
encourage existing supported customers to quickly migrate to Unify's
support organization. Details on the entire plan will be distributed
by Margo Davis sometime in April - letters will be sent to all existing
supported Unify customers after the Sales force and TSEs have been
notified.
