Oracle Rdb
Oracle Rdb is a full-featured, relational database management system for mission-critical applications on OpenVMS platforms.

Rdb became part of Oracle Corporation in 1994. Oracle has made significant enhancements (over 50% of the code base has been developed by Oracle), focused on supporting large scale production applications and high performance transaction processing.

Rdb's technical strengths include:

  • Very high performance to deliver extraordinary real-world throughput
  • Extremely high reliability, providing both data security and database uptime
  • Extremely high availability—requirements for scheduled maintenance downtime are minimal
  • Easy maintainability
  • Low cost per transaction

Oracle’s plan for the future of Rdb is straightforward—maintain a relentless focus on quality and stability while enhancing the features which customers have deployed in production environments world wide.

Oracle also adds value to Rdb through support of other Oracle technologies, including the Oracle10g Database and Oracle10g Application Server. Developers and end users are able to use Oracle tools for application development, ad hoc queries, decision support and internet application deployment.
