Re: Database Tooling

Good to know.

My MIMIX setup is convoluted. I think Quick-EDD may be a better
solution. I've got three relatively simple requirements and the amount
of work required to get that working in MIMIX (and the less than
intuitive terminology) has me rethinking the entire issue.

Now I just have to see what my options are.

they are testing and getting Quick-EDD ready for 7.4.

Yes. We moved from Mimix to Quick-EDD because of one thing and one

thing only. Mimix was dragging their feet and finding every excuse to
delay coming out with a version which would run on 7.3. And even if they
did, they weren't going to support temporal tables for at least another 18
months.

I don't pay maintenance money simply to support your latest leveraged

buy out.

I expect vendors to participate in IBM's Early Programs.
I expect vendors to support their products on the latest OS NLT date of

general availability.

I have chucked more than one vendor for not supporting the latest OS. I

have a strict zero tolerance policy on this.

Of course when IBM dragged their feet getting Domino supported on 7.2

and 7.3 I was thinking that was a horrible example to set. And the reason
was so incredibly easy and stupid.

Luckily 7.4 did not rename 5761JV1 to 5770JV1 like 7.2 did. Domino had

a hard coding requirements check on that alone upon startup. Had to wait
months for a new fix level.

Luckily 7.4 did not drop JDK 8 like 7.3 did with JDK6. Domino ignored

their JAVA_HOME and had a hard coded requirements check on that alone
during startup. Again, long wait for a new fix level.

Rob, are you saying that you had MIMIX and you moved to Quick-EDD?

No, I think because you journal all tables is why Squirrel works so

much better for you than many of the others on this list.

Since moving to Mimix (then now Quick-EDD) we journal all tables also.
