Axiant and MS SQL 7

[James B. Byrne]

I have been seconded to one of our clients that is in serious 
difficulty with their business systems. Essentially they have none. 

They have made a considerable investment in MS SQL 7 and the 
hardware to run it and the development tools to write C++ and VB 
code but they have nothing to show for this expenditure (which now 
exceeds several $100,000.00's)

I have contacted Cognos regarding using Axiant to bootstrap their 
essential systems onto the SQL servers as quickly as possible.  
What I would like to hear from are those of you that have used 
Axiant in production and development.  

What I am looking for is information on how scalable this product 
is when using NT Sever 4 and MS SQL and how well the current 
release interfaces with SQL 7, if at all.  I am intimately familiar 
with PH 7.29 on MPE/iX platforms and I understand that the code 
syntax for PH8 and Axiant are very similar to PH 7.29 on HP-MPE.  
Can anyone comment on this and point out any "yes but" situations 
to me before I run into them in development?

I am given to understand that Axiant (PH8) uses DBLIB for SQL 
access.  As this has been depreciated by MS since the last release 
of SQL 6.5 I would like to know whether Cognos has any plans to 
move Axiant to ADO and if so in what time frame.

Regards,
Jim
