477.0. "Oracle Tools for Rdb" by KCBBQ::DUNCAN (Bo knows Rdb) Wed Nov 01 1989 19:56


.... On a separate note, Schock added that it was unlikely Oracle will allow
its tools to support DEC's Rdb offering.  "Our performance is higher and we're
portable across operating systems.  There's no compelling business reason for
us to support Rdb."

	Christian Schock, Oracle's group product manager
	Digital Review, October 30, 1989, pg 4

The article didn't specifiy the group but it must be either tools or forms since
the body of article covered windowing.

    I'm just glad Oracle confirmed what anyone with a shred of common sense
    can surmise. That is, it is certainly not in Oracle's interest to port
    their tools or applications to Rdb. Were I with Oracle, I would
    consider such a port to be entirely counter-productive.
