The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
From: Wilt, Charles
Actually, IIRC, both Oracle and SQL Server provide APIs for non-SQL access
into the DBs.
I don't believe they are used much now, but I think it used to be pretty
common.
I don't think so, Charles. I've heard that Oracle now has some ISAM access
APIs, but I've never seen them. As far as I know Oracle has been solely
SQL-based (well, Oracle's proprietary PL/SQL) from the beginning. They do
have indexed-ordered tables, but those are a different animal and they don't
provide ISAM access. They've been added to provide performance enhancements
for relational data access.
Microsoft Access is an ISAM database, and the Jet engine also supported
ISAM, but there is no indication that SQL Server ever supported anything
other than SQL.
