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.
This year’s IUA conference; a crammed packed one day event with 5 streams of sessions with keynotes from Ingres‘ CEO Roger Burkhardt, Novell‘s Director of Product Management Dr. Gerald Pfeifer and Talend‘s François Mero.

Demonstrations [...]
It has been a busy opening day at EclipseCon 2010. I have been able to attend some lightning talks (~25 minutes) where a synopsis of a later presentation is given. Gives you an idea of the forthcoming content. The first session of the day involved an introductory presentation on the e4rover challenge – translation, control [...]
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 [...]
