DataMiner [message #20679]

Hi:

I am looking for some advice with respect to the IDL DataMiner.
I started to work with it in the last few days but I am not
sure so far if it works for me. Actually I can access an Oracle
data base server, create and retrieve records.... Some features
of SQL work well others do not. Is there any experience out there
or any web site where I could get info about it? Or is there
another way to access Oracle from IDL? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Theo

At that price they can afford to be attentive!

Looking back over my records, I see that we paid US$350 + $US50 shipping &
handling in 1997 for the Dataminer add-on for a single IDL 5.0/Windows
license, with maintenance to be paid "as needed". Apparently it never has
been needed.

Perhaps RSI have revised their pricing strategy since then. Just in case
anyone from RSI gets any ideas, I will say 450 euro per year is way more
blood than can be extracted from this particular stone. At that price I'd
rather go and get the records from the database one at a time on punch
cards.

No problem in getting the attention of CreaSo when I want info or order
extra licences ;-)

Have you *seen* the maintenance cost of those newfangled punched card
readers? !-)
