We do have a webpage on one of our servers that has release notes going

than that - Btrees definitely weren't new in 6.4.

6.4 onward would be very useful to me. Is the webpage you mention on a
server I can see?

It is now - ftp://ftp.ingres.com/outgoing/relnotes/release.tar.gz

(Knowing when B-tree support was introduced would still be
nice, just to gratify my curiosity. If anyone knows...? Mikey should
remember; but then so should I.)

I am wondering if there is an archive of old (i.e. up to and including
"ancient") GENERIC release notes somewhere accessible? I never got a
really satisfying answer to my B-tree question a few weeks ago and I've
got a few more questions along the same line.

From the responses on this thread, the priory clinic could be opening up a
new wing and addiction speciality..

Guess what I put down as "religion" on census forms? :-) If enough of
us do that we can get government funding for our own faith schools!

Gang,

I am 100% certain B-trees were in 3.x. B-trees pre-dated
SQL, which was "kinda" introduced in 4.x, I recall.

I did a lot of office cleaning over the weekend, but I did
NOT find the technical notes that would have also talked about
another storage type that faded away or was never fully released.

Thanks Jean-Pierre. That's a good little write-up but I am certain that
B-tree were introduced long before release 6.0. I'm inclined to think
it was probably Release 3.0 circa 1985/6?

It's good to keep William's page in mind. It is full of treasures.

I believe that I have the answer to Roy's question about Btrees

There were not in RTI Ingres 2.1 (June 1983 approx.)
There were in RTI Ingres 3.0 (July 1985 approx.)

Cheers

John

Hi John,

I take the opportunity to wish you an happy new year.

This Btree question is like a big hunt : where is the Btree ? ;-)

That's good enough for me. I don't know why you're so certain but
that's certainly what I was thinking.

See, all that stuff gets kinda muddled in my memory. I didn't pay any
attention to SQL till much later. I kept hoping it was a mistake and
would just go away...
