[Info-Ingres] OpenRoad 3.5 and ingres 2006

We're using an old OpenRoad3.5 application with an Ingres 2.6 database
hosted on a solaris 2.6 server. This is a "legacy" system that "they"
just don't want to get rid of.

The Sun server is now coming to the end of it's useful life and support,
so I though I'll simply do a unloaddb of the database on to our existing
solaris 10 server with Ingres 2006 64bit and then repoint the vnode on
each openroad client.

Before I invest time testing...

Has anyone had experience doing this? If so what gotchas are there?

Will OpenRoad3.5 work ok with Ingres 2006 (I suspect it does)?

Is there license information on using OpenRoad3.5 with Ingres 2006? I
seem to recall there may be some issues with components of OpenRoad that
are not covered....?

Thanks

Gareth

As a client it should work fine if you do what you describe above.

I am not an OpenROAD expert but I believe there are problems with using
Ingres 2006 to develop/build applications using OR 3.5. You will need
to make sure you have a system you can use to build the app. It should
be easy enough to create a peer 2.6 installation for that purpose.
Or you could migrate the dev Database to a wintel host if you want to be
cheap about it.

OR 3.5 enterprise support ends in December. Ingres 2.6 will end in
December 2009. Extended support will be available for both for some
time after that.

There are no license implications as a result of changing the version of
Ingres you are connecting to. The two products are licensed separately,
and the proprietary elements of OpenROAD are covered by the OpenROAD
license. (Heck, you can connect OpenROAD to Oracle if you want.)

I am currently doing some DBA work at a site that runs OR 3.5 and
Ingres 2006. I upgraded them in November 2007 from Ingres 2.0 to
Ingres 2006 at the server end. They have no problems with their OR App
provided you keep the client running on the original Ingres 2.0
NET.
