As follow-up to the UK IUA 2010 and the video of the Ingres VectorWise demonstration the Ingres Emerging Technologies Team has created an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) with a pre-installed evaluation copy of Ingres VectorWise. The Ingres Community wiki page has some simple instructions to get started. As a guideline to the cost, I ran [...]
I mentioned in a previous post UK IUA 2010 that Ingres announced the release of Ingres VectorWise. During the announcement was a live demonstration using the Ingres Database Workbench; recorded for posterity.
Today, Hibernate 3.5.0 completes its development cycle and is announced as Final.
Way back in May last year I experimented with some IMA tables that showed data types and operators defined in the DBMS. Further poking around and a table for a list of the function instances is available, drop ima_dbms_fis; \p\g register table ima_dbms_fis ( server varchar(64) not null not default is ‘SERVER’, id integer4 not [...]

Most notably, this year’s keynote speakers were Roger Burqhart, Phillip Andrew from RedHat and Dr. Ian Howells from Alfresco each with a similar message; Open source is a key [...]
Following the popularity and attendance at last year’s code sprint a repeat of the event was held on the two days prior to the UK IUA. The objective of the event was to introduce, and in some cases re-introduce, the sprinters to the Ingres source code and build environment; either a pre-configured VMWare virtual machine [...]

Data types The following registration will create a table that contains data type name and the data type description bits. drop ima_dbms_datatypes; \p\g [...]
