Currently the Oracle/DEC VLM only runs under DEC Unix. Oracle/VLM needs a 64-bit OS to run on in order make a large SGA.

I've read somewhere that Oracle/VLM will be supported under OpenVMS by the end of the year. This implies that OpenVMS will also become a true 64-bit OS not far from now.

You should be able to read more about this on DEC's WWW (http://www.digital.com).

BTW: You are not the only one looking forward to the combination of Oracle/VLM and OpenVMS !!
