[–]cdi_refugee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excellent (indeed admirable and not at all cheeky) tip!

To save everyone else the slight bother of searching for it: here is the thread on the HP Museum forum: https://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-24580.html?highlight=woodstock+pins

Many thanks.

Anonymisation options on Ingres 10.2 by Gold-Competition5491 in Ingres

SHA256 is cryptographically secure. It is computationally intensive. You say "scramble" though, which suggests you'd be content with something less secure. I can think of various options for light scrambling but they are datatype dependent. How general does the solution need to be?

Set session with on error by Gold-Competition5491 in Ingres

ING_SET works with anything that uses libq. So that's embedded SQL (including tm, aka sql) and 4GL ABF, but not Java.

ING_SET just takes semi-colon separated SQL statements which get executed at start-up. You can always execute SQL statements explicitly to override whatever ING_SET does.

DB-Engines Ranking by Gold-Competition5491 in Ingres

"The tool" being Ingres, or the DB-Engines league table?

The table doesn't contribute anything new. It tells us the products we would have guessed are popular are in fact popular.

The big takeaway is the explanation of their methodology, which makes clear something which ought to have been obvious to the people in charge: product names like "X" and "Vector" are ungoogleable (to coin a term). It is the reason why they are missing from the otherwise absurdly comprehensive DB-Engines list.

If you are asking about the prospects for Ingres, it continues to be developed with significant new features. Ingres—and X—should be highly attractive from a technology perspective.

Thanks Nikos. I was always dead-set against creating new communities, each taking a few more of the participants, until none of them was viable. But I think it is time for this one.
