328.0. "The Gospel according to Digital NEWS" by CSOA1::CARLOTTI (I have an Erie feeling about this...) Thu Apr 06 1989 16:13

In the April 3, 1989 edition of Digital NEWS (are we allowed to read this 
magazine?), there's an article in the Buyers Guide section (pp. 27-33) 
entitled: "What Managers Should Look for When Selecting a DBMS" by James 
Brunet.

On the first page of the article is a table listing thirty one (31) vendors 
who have relational database products.  A large table of features is spread 
across pages 29 & 32.

OOPS!  They forgot Rdb...so sorry.  Must have slipped their mind.

They did mention us in the last paragraph of the article:

	"Like Digital's DECnet network management tools, Digital's Rdb 
	product contains an ACMS (Application Control and Management 
	System), which, according to Digital's (Vickie) Farrell, provides 
	the ability to tune the database engine's performance to the 
	specific conditions under which it is run.  The ACMS also provides 
	the audit capabilities, the ability to implement priorities on 
	transactions and database security at the applications level, she 
	said."



Sometimes reading these trade rags is PAINFUL!
