Differences between MS SQL Server and Gupta SQL Server

  • Hi Guys!!!

    I needed to support one of the Gupta SQL Base 8.5 database very soon. Right now I am supporting quite a few MS SQL Server databases (6.5, 7.0 and 2000). Just wanted to check if there were any differences between the two.

    Can you please give some information on how big are they different, any links, etc.

    Thanks so much.

  • I had never heard of it bu tyou could check out hte Gupta web site http://www.guptaworldwide.com.  It looks like it is used similar to how MS would like to see MSDE used.

  • I did check their website, even downloaded trial copy of the Gupta SQL Base 9.0. Still couldn't figureout much. Now its time to read the scary manual. 🙂

    Thanks though.

  • And after you read tell us about it. Maybe a 1 page article. Is it free? What does it do? Is it for Windows or Unix? Does it have good features? Any Software Compatibility issues?

    Hi,

    I have 7+ yr experience in Gupta SQL. It's entirely different from SQL server. If you need any help please contact me. My mail id is shanalalkasim@gmail.com

    The original post was 12 years ago. I'm hoping they figured it out by now. 😉

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.
    "Change is inevitable... change for the better is not".

    It's origins are interesting. The company was ".. founded in 1984 by Umang Gupta, a former Vice President and General Manager of the Microcomputer Products Division at Oracle Corporation."

    However, I've never heard of the product.

    And if they still need to handle Gupta SQL Base, they would have 12 years of experience. 😀
