To the users of usenet:
I have corresponded with several people via email about the creation
of a newsgroup called comp.databases.sybase.
SYBASE is a very popular and extremely powerful DBMS with a constantly
growing base of users.
There is functionality which is unique to SYBASE. There are
several issues which users would like to discuss which are specific to
SYBASE. SYBASE should have its own forum to discuss these issues just as INGRES
and ORACLE users have their own forum to discuss their issues.
This would be far superior to having to search through comp.databases
for any "net" traffic pertinent to SYBASE.
I am therefore submitting a request for discussion on the creation of a new
newsgroup called comp.databases.sybase.
The newsgroup should be unmoderated. It should be a fully open forum on
SYBASE issues.
The discussion on this proposal will take place in news.groups.
Please see the pertinent postings in news.answers and news.announce.newgroups
for the rules that will be followed in creating a newsgroup.
If for any reason you can not get the posting of rules I can email them to you.
Thanks,
Allen
