I have been using Ingres for IBM PC for about 5 months and
found that the product has good and bad aspects.   One problem
in my PC environment is that it needs at least 570K, but under
DOS 4.01, the maximum I could reserve for Ingres is 540K.  If my
database grows (including data, forms, application definitions, etc.)
it begins to complain "out of memory", "buffer full",..  which must
be undesirable and should not happen. (I think).   Is there any quick
solution to this situation?   Is there any user group to discuss this
problem?  Does the company maintain electronic bulletin board?  Do
you know their number?
Well, one last (but not the least, as they say in America) question is
about the optimization scheme (or algorithms, tricks) implemented in 
Ingres.  Do you have any pointer (especially published article, or 
proceedings)?    I will summarize the replies, so please help me!
