Bruce, thanks for the outstanding references. this was interesting:

Oracle Rdb Statement of Direction

                         Rdb is a Success
...

Rdb Future

               Oracle=92s plans for the future of Rdb are simple:
                         Don=92t change a successful formula


...

Integration with Oracle8i

                    The Oracle Rdb Team consists of extremely
                    dedicated professionals who are a part of the
                    overall database development group at Oracle
                    Corporation. While Rdb engineers are working to
                    enhance Rdb, they are working side-by-side with
                    engineers working on Oracle8i and other related
                    database projects.

...

Over

                   the past 5 years, Rdb Engineering has pursued a
                   strategy of making Rdb a full participant in the
                   Oracle environment. One result of this approach
                   has been that many other Oracle technologies =97
                   for eBusiness applications, data warehousing and
                   custom application development =97 have become
                   well integrated participants in Rdb customer
                   environments. Beginning with the engineers and
                   continuing to large customer installations, Oracle
                   actively encourages this "cross pollination" of
                   technologies.
