From ad on page 5, MIS week, November 20, which compares Oracle OS/2 server to Ashton-Tate SQL Server, Oracle says: "Transparent access to data in other vendor's databases: IBM's DB2 and SQL/DS, and Digital's RMS." -- sql*gerry

From what I've heared from my customer this RMS support is implemented
in Holland and is currently fieldtested at some sites. The customer was
rather surprised when I told him a month ago, that Oracle will claim to
support RMS in a short timeframe.
Implementation seems to be rather clumsy though anf of course there's
no CDD integration.

| 511.3 | Requires V6 of Oracle | MAIL::DUNCANG | Gerry Duncan @KCO | Thu Dec 28 1989 23:59 | 14 |
Just received my Winter 1990 issue of Oracle magazine. In it is
an article about SQL*connect for RMS. It requires Oracle V6.0 and
is read only.
In order to access data, you DO have to change your query to indicate
it is destined for RMS. An example they have listed:
"SELECT * FROM EMP@RMS"
As you can see, this is very much different than changing a logical
name and certainly not transparent.
