IDMS vs UDS/SQL
IDMS: CODASYL network-model mainframe database, now Broadcom's, still running decades-old COBOL systems. UDS/SQL: Fujitsu BS2000 mainframe DBMS combining a CODASYL network model with SQL on the same data.
key differences
- IDMS is built for larger datasets (≤ 1 PB) than UDS/SQL (≤ 10 TB).
- Horizontal scaling is addon in IDMS and none in UDS/SQL.
- Only IDMS has compression.
