[Gusdev-gusdev] other rdbms

[Matthew H. <mat...@ve...>]

Hi,

I am very interested in GUS but am currently unable to use it as I don't have 
Oracle available to me.  I have read in this list that it is proposed to 
develop versions of GUS that might work with MySQL or Postgresql and was just 
wondering if anyone can give me please an indication of a timeframe in which 
this might happen?

Thanks very much,

Matthew

Matthew, there is a free Oracle release for Linux.
GUS works fine with this.

I think that you will be limited as to what you can do with this. The
licenses I have seen specifically prohibit use of the free versions
for internal data processing (or anything but the development of a
single non-production prototype).

Not being 100% sure about the licensing status (especially for
personal editions) I've been searching the Oracle site. All the
downloads I found involved agreement to their developer license which
includes this statement:

"We grant you a nonexclusive, nontransferable limited license to use
the programs only for the purpose of developing a single prototype of
your application, and not for any other purpose.  If you use the
application you develop under this license for any internal data
processing or for any commercial or production purposes, or you want
to use the programs for any purpose other than as permitted under this
agreement, you must contact us, or an Oracle reseller, to obtain the
appropriate license.  We may audit your use of the programs."

If anyone knows of a less restrictive Oracle release I would be happy
to hear about it.

one more thing to mention on this thread.  while i don't know much about 
the free version, when we last checked there were reasonably affordable 
oracle licenses available.

You're right, Keith. I just checked with an Oracle 
field rep: the 9i license you cited appears to be the 
least restrictive for no-$$ license options that are available.
Although I find the level of restriction annoying 
(the UChicago sitewide Oracle arrangement aside), 
the free-use terms of the freely available Oracle 
distribution can go a long way in 
setting up and prototyping a GUS based system.  

I might add, Oracle had/has a research incentive program 
for reducing some initial licensing costs. When I used this 
program a few years ago, it involved submitting a proposal 
to Oracle.

Matthew,
there is a group I know of that is working on porting GUS to 
PostgreSQL. 
They started on this project fairly recently, I'm not sure about the 
timeframe.
