Sybase have now retired their product set on OpenVMS. According to the
Sybase Support Certifications web page :
http://www.sybase.com/detail/1,6904,1010821,00.html the last certification
performed was SQL Server 11.0.3.2 on OpenVMS 7.3. Does anybody know :

1) Have any certifications been done against later versions of the OS (e.g.
7.3-2) ?
2) Are any more certifications likely to happen ?
3) Are any customers out there successfully using Sybase 11.0.3.2 on later
versions of OVMS than 7.3 ?

Thanks for any help.

All the 'certs' shown on that URL are 'paper' certs. It is highly unlikely
that any further certs will be issued. Sybase stopped active development on
VMS about 5 years ago because they saw the Sybase market on VMS going
nowhere.

Migrate your database from Sybase to Oracle RDB ! It´s the better choice
for you to have support !

.. . . because you will need lots of support in Tartarus.

We only have Sybase running for the purposes of data conversions ...
not for production use. We migrated to Oracle 8i and 9i on OpenVMS.
I have not yet tried on OpenVMS version 7.3-1 nor on 7.3-2 ... and
probably will not need to do that.

Sorry. No help here.
