RE: Re:RE: Difference Between DBMS/RDBMS

Don is right - there was a 6.2 on VMS - I worked on it! And it was the granddaddy of OPS.

I think that 6.0.x was all there ever was on most platforms. I worked with Oracle on a smorgasboard of Unix-like platforms (AIX, Sun, Xenix, SCO, Unisys s5r4, etc.) all the way through Oracle6 and don't remember ever seeing anything beyond 6.0.36. That could be because either (1) we skipped later 6.x in favor of Oracle7.0.x or (2) what was in memory was swapped to disk and never needed again. ;-) I didn't work with VMS after Oracle 4 (!), but there was at least a 6.2 release on VMS - exclusively I think. [If I remember correctly (unlikely), the VMS release 6.x (x=2?) for the VAX cluster was the granddaddy of OPS]. I don't know about 6.1, but if there ever was such a critter, I suspect that it was VMS-only also.
