276.0. "Rdb 2.1 software needed" by YUPPY::CHRZANOWSKA () Thu Dec 15 1988 15:58

    I have a customer who has carried out some benchmarks a while ago
    comparing Rdb with other relational databases.  He now has a renewed
    interest in Rdb and has found that the efficiency of certain database
    functions is processor dependent.  I therefore need to get hold
    of the same version of Rdb - which was 2.1 - so that he can update
    his figures on a new processor without having to rerun all his tests.
    I have had no success in trying to obtain Rdb 2.1.  Can anyone out
    there help me, please?

276.1What CPU are they trying to test?COOKIE::BERENSONVAX Rdb/VMS VeteranThu Dec 15 1988 18:007
V2.1 is certainly long dead and buried.  While some user may have a tape
hanging around, the only official kit is probably in SDC's fire storage
vault.

Note that you CAN'T use V2.1 to test any Digital processor that requires
VMS V5.0 or later since only V3.0 and later runs on VMS V5.0!  So, the
customer may be out of luck even if you find a kit.
