420.1Another OneQUILL::BOOTHWhat am I?...An Oracle?Tue Sep 05 1989 16:045
    Yes, Oracle has yet another marketing partner. This time is is
    EASYTALK, an end-user interface to the Oracle RDBMS. I think it is a
    plain-English query system (like Intellect and Natural Language).

420.2will they like it ??PRCSWS::FRANKLINLAUWed Sep 06 1989 08:204

    So how do you think about the impact on us and customer, will they
    like it ?
420.3Just More PropagandaQUILL::BOOTHWhat am I?...An Oracle?Wed Sep 06 1989 15:155
    If they like it, we can always bring in Natural Language on Rdb. I
    think this just gives Oracle something else Oracle-specific so they can
    claim that all the new tools are going to Oracle.

420.4Rdb support, tooMERIDN::MATTHEWSIt's all Atanasoff's fault!Fri Sep 08 1989 21:375
    I read somewhere that this software will also be ported to work
    with Rdb in the (near) future.
