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 1978-1983 • Independent consultant 1983 - Present • OpenVMS Evangelist/VMS Bigot
Ingres – “INteractiveGraphics REtrievalSystem” • 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: • sedV3.02 (1998, current version is 4.2.1) • flex V2.5.4 (1997, current version is 2.5.35) • 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) • www.ccsscorp.com/ingres.html • Installed successfully on OpenVMS I64 V8.4 • Using with open source port
OpenBravo ERP to OpenVMS. • Tomcat V6 application • Oracle RDBMS on Linuxto 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
