"Hospital" is the key. Cache was originally developed in the '70 for use in medical applications, of course, back then it was known as MUMPS before the PR guys got a hold of it. The UNIX types will tell you that any app that has been around for three decades has to have something going for it.

Some of the DBAs around hear played with it, and were not impressed. Apparently recovery in the event of any failure was a nightmare.

I've heard of them... Some guys at the last place I was at had used it as
the back end for a lab results viewer at a hospital in the Boston area...
They loved it... They kept telling me how great it was but I never saw it
in action... I took most of it with a grain of salt since they were developers...

As far as the 4 million users go... If you consider each hospital employee
a "user"... Of better yet, each patient a "user"...

Anyone else ever hear about them? According to the web site that have '4
million users'. Seems that would have left a mark somewhere at that level.

Yeah, like that ain't a plug from someone acting like an Oracle DBA.

No signature.
Generic e-mail account from a generic mail domain.
No recent posts to this list.

Probably just a Cache salesman...

Hi,

Does anyone know about the Cache database? Is it REALLY that robust as they claim to be?

Thanks.
