Access Ingres database


Question posted by: Xavier Ambrosioni (Guest) on November 11th, 2005 11:55 PM
Hi all,

I would like to access an Ingres database (that is running on a HP-UX
box) in perl on linux, but Ingres does not exist for that OS and I
cannot compile the DBD module. Do you know if it's possible to use the
pgsql client to access that Ingres database ?


Thank you for your help

Xavier

Almost certainly not, as any protocol similarity between the two is
long gone by now...

Maybe you should migrate the whole system to Postgres. :)
