HP never ceases to amaze me. They have done an incredible amount the
last year (since IPROF'96) to allay fears about their interest in the HP3K.

But they still don't always get it (well, they are a big company).

Today I was using a new nifty web based system provided by HP to fill out
some marketing blurbs about our products. For each product I get to
check a box that defines what databases and what HP servers the
software runs on.

For servers, the HP 3000 is listed first .... very good!

For databases, the list is:

ALLBASE
DBASE
IBM DB2
Informix
Ingres
Microsoft Access
Microsoft SQL Server
Oracle
Paradox
Sybase

Thanks goodness there were a couple of boxes for 'other' so I could
fill in: Image/SQL.

Is this a big DUH or what? The marketing types don't even know what HP
database products exist for their own servers... at least for the HP3K
anyway.

Sigh.
