Hi,

Oracle RDB is the database originally produced by Digital Equipment Corporation. Its runs on OpenVMS and originally competed with Oracle on that platform. Oracle bought it from DEC and still develops it separately from Oracle RDBMS. It has alot of the same features as Oracle - parallel query, partitioning, bitmap indexes etc... but is an entirely separate product and only runs on OpenVMS. They tried porting it to NT at one point, but I think that effort was abandoned.

HTH, Beth
