Oracle is pleased to announce the availability of Oracle
Rdb Release 7.2 field test. The field test of Oracle Rdb 7.2 is
available to run on OpenVMS Industry Standard 64 for HP Integrity
Servers and for OpenVMS for AlphaServer systems. To join the
Beta program, you can register online at the Rdb Beta Test Page
(follow the "Rdb Beta Programs" link at http://www.oracle.com/rdb).

Program Administrator will review it for approval. When you log

This field test software allows Oracle Rdb-based applications
to be ****ted to OpenVMS for ItaniumŪ architecture-based HP Integrity
servers. Most Rdb-based applications that run today on AlphaServer
systems need only to be recompiled, relinked and tested in order to
run on Integrity servers.
The full suite of the Rdb database engine functionality
is available for this 7.2 field test on both the AlphaServer and
Integrity server platforms. This functionality includes:
- Rdb, RDO and RDML precompiler and interactive
interfaces
- SQL precompiler and interactive interfaces
- Local and global buffering and row caches
- Data protection via before-image and after-image
journaling
- 2-phase transaction and multi-database sup****t
- Remote database access via TCP/IP and DECnet
- Oracle Rdb Hot Standby
- Oracle Rdb LogMiner
- Built-in remote database access capabilities over
DECnet or TCP/IP
- RMU backup, restore, recover, verify, show statistics,
load, unload, etc.
The Oracle Rdb field test release 7.2 requires a minimum
of OpenVMS Alpha V7.3-2 and a minimum of OpenVMS for Integrity
Servers V8.2.
Oracle expects to release Oracle Rdb Release 7.2 for
production use in the second half of calendar year 2005.
