RE: Database language

[zoltan dot tomory at mobot dot org]

Future plans seem to be that Millennium will be converted to a MySQL
database based system over something like a five or ten  year timeframe,
phasing out the existing proprietary database/database language, if my
recollections from IUG'04 are accurate.

Writing their own database--that's gutsy!
Changing a database--equally gutsy!

One thing from the technical information was not clear to me: The Java
Virtual Machine is platform independent & runs on a variety of platforms
including Windows, Mac, and a bunch of others. So how come the Java clients
typical of Millennium don't do Mac? The purpose of the JVM is to translate
Java code to machine code of whatever platform there exists a JVM for with
complete integrity & my understanding is that Sun, author of Java, has
suffered to keep it so.

Thanks to everyone who  responded to my question regarding Database
Language.  I've got what I need to send down the street to the IT
Department and their new DBA.  This list is great for finding answers
and solving problems!

Hi, Deb, 

The programming languages are listed on III's public web site, under
"technical information" as:  "Innovative's Millennium server operates
under
UNIX, and the application code is written in C/C++ and Java."

The City we are a department of, is hiring a new IT Database
Administrator
and I've been asked to provide them with basic information on our III
setup.
The realize that we do not have root access to our server and that they
will
not be doing any coding or programing.  But the question I have not
been
able to answer for them is "what language
is the database written in?"   I've explained that the database is
III's
own proprietary database,  but they would still like to know what
language it is written in.   This is beyond my scope, so I'm turning
to
the list to look for an answer to their question.  We're turnkey,
Millennium
2005LE, and NOT Oracle.
Thanks in advance for any info shared.
