Hi Paul,

You should be able to connect from Ingres II client to Ingres R3 servers.

I looked at:

http://www3.ca.com/Solutions/ProductsAZ.aspx

and I did not find it.

No. I just want to connect the Win9x apps to tables on the IngresR3 server.

The only solution I found was this product:

http://uda.openlinksw.com/

I did not test it yet. But it is really weird to pay US$100,00 per
workstation for an ODBC driver and pay US$ 0,00 for the full featured RDBMS
servers (Ingres R3).

I'm evaluating Ingres R3, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSDE and SQLServer Express.
Well, Ingres is way, way ahead in the top. But the lack for a Win9X ODBC
driver is an unbelievable mistake.

Thanks,
Johel

Hey Johel,
I've been running Ingres clients on Win9x for years, connecting to both
Unix and Windows Ingres servers. Clients include OpenROAD, Access, Crystal
(odbc) etc. Ingres II is still supported and available from CA.

Hi All,

Is there a way to connect Windows native apps running on Win9x
workstations
to IngresR3 running on WinXP Pro SP2 servers?

I did all that I could related to ODBC and ADO. No way. It's a shame
for an open source product when there is no ODBC driver that can work
on Win9x operating systems! I would need to upgrade all Win9x to WinXP
just to install the R3 ODBC driver!! And before that I would need to
upgrade the hardware! That's crazy!

BTW, I like Ingres VERY MUCH and I'm very sad as it looks like I'll
need to leave it behind and go to PostgreSQL, MySQL or MSDE.

Thanks,
Johel

Hi Karl,

Could you tell me what do you use?

connect to an R3 server. They used to be available for free download
from the CA Ingres product page (the old Advantage Ingres page, not
the open source site).

I could not find it. It looks like it does not exist anymore.

I did downloaded an ODBC driver for Ingres. But the doc says:

-----------------------------
3. The Ingres ODBC driver can only be installed into an
existing
Ingres installation. The Ingres installation (client and/or
server) must be one of the following releases:
- Ingres II 2.0/9808 or later for Windows NT.
- Ingres II 2.5 for Windows (32-bit).

4. If Ingres for Windows NT, 2000, 95, or 98 is installed,
then this (32-bit) driver should be installed. If
CA-OpenIngres
1.2 Net Client for Windows 3.1 is installed on any Windows
platform, then the 16-bit driver should be installed.
-----------------------------

The problem is: there is no Ingres version (Ingres II 2.5 for Windows,
Ingres for Windows 95/98 or CA-OpenIngres) available for download.

Go figure....

Thanks,
Johel
