First off - thanks to Chris and Alexandre for their helpful input on the subject of iFS.  

Brief question - does anyone know of the status of SQL as an interface to iFS? I know this has been promised, but whether delivered yet I just don't know...  

thanks,

Peter,  

I have spent some time demonstrating and publicising iFS within my part of the business, mainly as a document management system. I have only demonstrated the basic, out-of-the-box product as I have no budget to develop it further. Although it stimulates initial interest among the user community it is often seen as being a bit 'clunky' in comprison to off-the-shelf DMSs. I like the product and the functionality it provides out-of-the-box and am sure that there is a market for it but as mentioned am not in a good position to demo what it is capable of. I have introduced it internally to manage documents centrally and this seems to have gone down well bit I have had to recommend that only the webui is used as there seems to be problems (that neither I nor Oracle have managed to resolve) with the SMB interface when using certain PCs.  

Hope this helps,  

Chris Johnson
