With the Oracle takeover of MySQL, we are seeing a number of customers that are looking for other options to avoid vendor lock in and the uncertainly about the future of MySQL. Several members of the community have been working with the Ingres staff on building tools/ scripts for migrating to Ingres. If you have some ideas and would like to contribute in this area please let us know. The Ingres community wiki has a number of ways to get involved with and the team is always looking to welcome new users.

Ingres 9.3 has implemented a number of key features that will help assist application developers with the migration. Ingres 9.3 offers support for:

Like for Long Objects to facilitate porting FOSS applications
Identity columns
Named results
Extended .Net support
One click configuration support for common workloads
Liferay application support
Support for table procedures
This isn’t a complete list of features that will aid developers in the seamless migration from other databases but is a good sampling to pique interest. The full list can be found on the Ingres products page. There is a webinar that walks through the various features with Christine Normile, Sr. Product Mgr for Ingres listed on the Ingres On Demand Webinar site.

If you are new to Ingres there also is a great selection of on demand webinars to help you get started. Topics includes Getting started with Ingres, Ingres for Oracle users, How to manage Ingres, How to backup your data and How to import your data are just a sampling to get you started.

The Query Tool was shown at the UK IUA today and got rave reviews. Thought I would share some information about it and hopefully get some feedback on the tool as well.

Query Tool is an Ingres data management application that was written with another Ingres tool - Ingres OpenROAD. It’s a simple tool for proto-typing and testing Ingres SQL that can support Unicode as well. The Query Tool allows developers to maintain and manipulate data in the Ingres Database by providing full QBF style tabular and simple editor interfaces. There also is a GUI based version which is an added bonus. The tool includes a number of assistants to help developers create select statements, views, and tables and also to hep migrate data into excel, etc. You can store SQL scripts as part of your database so you don’t have to go hunting them down later and can run the scripts in a terminal style interface with full support for the Ingres terminal monitor commands and query buffering.

For more information or how to get involved with Query Tool visit the Ingres wiki.
