I think that is "all" you need and if you want to try it, go ahead. Please
post your results here. I have always been a fan of pioneers.
We haven't done it here and there are no current plans to do it that I am
aware of, so I don't know about any pitfalls.
In the past, extending RBMS support also involved having to change some of
the table names and things because some of the vendors had different
restrictions on field sizes and table name lengths, and so code changes
were required. But experiments had to be done find to find out.
Good luck

Subject: [NV-L] Netview AIX 6.x Database support for MSSQL
While NV 6.0 UNIX release notes make it quite clear that NV supports only
Sybase,Oracle, DB2 and Informix for the database, at TMF level 3.6.x, RIM
does in fact support MS-SQL. From a purely technical standpoint , it
stands to reason that one *should* be able to get it working (but
non-supported, of course). I would think one would need only:
1. Create a custom script to define the DB and tables.
2. Follow the procedures to create a RIM object and configure the NV
database environment as outlined in the DB Guide.
Has anyone tried this? Are there any hidden "show-stoppers?"
