How do you handle multiple Ingres installations?

Since it is possible to have multiple copies of Ingres running on box I was wondering how people switch between them. When I worked in support we used to hand write the scripts used to set-up the Ingres environment. Nowadays, at least with the Linux RPM releases, that script is written for you and placed [...]

Install Ingres via openSUSE’s zypper

Ever wanted to install Ingres direct from the package manager of favourite Linux distro? Well now you can, via the command line or the GUI. Bellow are the steps for getting Ingres installed into openSUSE using zypper:

Life as an Eclipse Ecosystem Director

As mentioned before, this week I am attending the Eclipse Summit in Ludwigsburg, Germany. We have brought along one of the company PS3s that have Ingres and Eclipse installed. All we need now is a decent display to get the higher (normal) resolutions expected from a Linux box. Sony’s use of a HDCP chip prevented [...]

A PHP Ingres update

Its been a long time coming but I have finally released to cvs.php.net a major revision of the PECL Ingres code. So major that I have had to break backwards compatibility to implement the ability to have multiple active result-sets. Since I promised Andy Grimm I would write a piece on the new driver for [...]

Our father, who shall write a blog

Picked up from reading Andy Astor’s (EnterpriseDB’s CEO) blog. It would appear that Michael Stonebraker, one of the founders of INteractive Graphics REtrieval System project at UCB has started a column, on a topic close to his heart, column based storage systems. It will be interesting to hear what he has to say regarding the [...]

SELinux and Ingres

I am sure I have written about this before, certainly there is something in comp.databases.ingres on getting Ingres and SELinux to play nice.
The following will enable Ingres (2006 and beyond) to be installed on a Linux system with SELinux enabled.

Psst… do you want a blog?

As I mentioned previously, I am willing to host blogs by people who have some involvement with Ingres. If you work for the company or you are a client / user and you are interested let me know. You can write as much or as little as you want, if you want to inform the [...]

New home….

Hopefully I have not forgotten to switch the gas off at the other place. On Monday, 27th August, ingres.co.uk will be transferred to Ingres Europe Ltd. All the content that was held on that site has already been moved here. In actual fact it has been split in two. All of my posts can be [...]
