These customers should also take a look at BridgeWare from Quest Software,
the extraction technology minimizes the performance hit of reoccurring
queries typically found in OTG. Please contact me directly for more
information or take a look at our website www.quest.com. Additionally, HP
Professional August 1999 discussed Decision Vault that also uses this
technology.

Subject: Oracle Transparent Gateway


     If you are using Oracle Transparent Gateway for IMAGE/SQL in an
     on-line environment with a high volume of transactions, please read
     the following:

     I have been talking with an HP 3000 customer who is using OTG/IMAGE in
     the above-mentioned environment.  He is experiencing a number of
     performance issues, both with OTG/IMAGE and the effects it can have on
     the other on-line users.  If you are successfully using OTG/IMAGE and
     may have some suggestions/best practices/etc, that you would be
     willing to share with this HP 3000 customer, please contact him
     directly at (John Montgomery) [log in to unmask]  If you would like
     some more detail before contacting him, please feel free to call me at
     440-891-6427.  He is very interested in making this work, but is also
     exploring some alternatives in case it doesn't pan out.

     He has spoken at length with various people at HP and Oracle, but is
     looking for real-life experiences at this point.
