Re: Distributed Join

[tons of talk about semi-join algorithms, coding, and other stuff deleted] You could just buy Ingres/Star and use normal everyday SQL, not knowing which table is on which node. You can do this from ANY tool, not just call-level or embedded C. You can do this from ANY third party tool that works against plain old Ingres. Ingres/Star deals with the "distriby" stuff behind the Ingres front-end. Granted the product is not perfect, but its been able to do this for the last 5 years, at least. One has to ask, "Why can't Sybase?"
