Re: what is oracle rdb?

It's still on the price list. Download the latest price list from Oracle and search for "rdb" - it's on page 4 out of 9. $40K per cpu - just like Oracle EE.

Trusted Oracle, to my knowledge, had nothing to do with Rdb. Lots of useful stuff came into the Oracle code from the Digital guys.
