MultiValue API available with Oracle9i AS
UniVerse, UniData, PICK and Prime INFORMATION applications run on Oracle 9iAS
Oracle Corporation in partnership with ONgroup is providing a MultiValue feature set with Oracle9iAS that supports applications developed on the common MultiValue platforms. BASIC Programs, Dictionaries, Paragraphs, PROCS, Sentences, Commands such as COPY, LIST, GET.LIST, CREATE.FILE, DELETE, SELECT, SORT--the common MultiValue features are implemented and work the same as they do in your MultiValue environment. UniObjects applications are compatible interface as well; so, graphical applications that use the UniObjects feature set of U2 will continue to work the same after the transition to Oracle.
With Oracle9iAS, the wall between the MultiValue environments and the relational world is gone. Now your existing MV applications can run on Oracle and use industry standard tools such as Crystal Reports and JAVA to create new applications and update the old.
Oracle9i Application Server when licensed through ONgroup or its distributors now includes a MultiValue API. Many large organizations, including VARs, government agencies, universities, healthcare and financial institutions, and Fortune 100 companies are redeploying mission-critical, MultiValue applications on Oracle. Few if any changes to the MultiValue applications are required to make the transition from PICK or U2 to Oracle.
