Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re:C-ISAM
Annie,
If I'm wrong I'm sure that someone here will correct me, but as I remember it ISAM files are a way to store data. Although I'm not totally sure anymore, Oracle use to use that method back in version 3 I believe, which made stripping out crashed data a lot more friendly. That was a good 17 years ago that I played around with that, ancient history. Anyway, C-ISAM was a library of ISAM calls that made the data store transparent and easier to work with in C.
Now for the larger issue, why would you want to work with ISAM files and Oracle at the same time? Seems like a lot of work with little gain. As a matter of fact, with all of the data management solutions running around (Oracle, SQL*Server, MySQL, PostGres, Access, and on and on....) why would anyone want to deal with ISAM/KSAM/BTree etc...?

Hi, listers:
Does anyone know C-ISAM and it can be used in Oracle? or just for the Informix.
Thanks in advance.
Rgds,
Annie
