Ingres Community Edition 10.1 on OpenVMS I64 Version 8.4 Bill Pedersen, CCSS

Building Ingres on OpenVMS I64 Version 8.4 Using Ingres as a basis for open source applications on OpenVMS

A little bit about me... History: – Involved with "DEC" hardware since 1972 – "Ported" Chess-11 to VMS / San Diego DECUS Fall 1977 – DEC Western Region Independent consultant Present OpenVMS Evangelist/VMS Bigot

Ingres – “INteractive Graphics REtrieval System” – NonStop SQL started as a variant of Ingres – Other spinoffs of Ingres Project include: Sybase Microsoft SQL Server Rational Technologies >>> Ingres Corporation PostgreSQL (Postgres = POST inGRES) Britton-Lee By 1980 over 1000 copies distributed Company name change 22 Sep 2011: Actian

The effort: – Ingres Community Edition Version 10.1 Build 114 Source Code in February Currently at Build 125 – OpenVMS not currently seen as “CE” participant Structure and environment to build from source still exists for OpenVMS – Loaded on to OpenVMS without issue after download from site

Then the fun began... – Missing utilities – Old versions of utilities – Build procedures do not updated to current versions... Build depends on: – sed V3.02 (1998, current version is 4.2.1) – flex V2.5.4 (1997, current version is ) – These and other utilities were not included in the distribution – After three days all were found... Add into the stew the OpenVMS C compiler and... We have a successful build of Ingres on OpenVMS I64 V8.4!

Built VMS_INSTAL kit (Available on request) – Installed successfully on OpenVMS I64 V8.4 Using with open source port

OpenBravo ERP to OpenVMS. – Tomcat V6 application – Oracle RDBMS on Linux to support port – Oracle RDBMS or PostgreSQL Using Shift2Ingres database migration toolkit

Shift2Ingres – CA's $1Million Challenge in 2005 – Successful port of OpenHR – Oracle RDBMS to Ingres – No changes to application – Runs under Java 1.4 with GUI

Shift2Ingres (under the covers) – Utilizes Object Management Extension User defined data User defined functionality – Looks like Oracle RDBMS Modified Ingres JDBC driver JDBC driver knows about special “Oracle” datatypes

Work to be done - – Defining datatypes – Final migration of the data to Ingres – Expect to do this over next few months – PL/SQL issues S2I supports translation of PL/SQL to SQL Need to review
