Dear Distribution Lists,

Greetings from Sweden! The event here is sold out in fact we have 
more
people than seats. Hence some of the speakers have to wait in a
conference room next door and since it is an HP site and there are
engineers so I have access to my email and my distribution lists (at
least today).  The people here are nice and very friendly they love VMS
too there are 6 people from OM here (one of our great VMS Partners).

Bill Thomas can you please send to the VMS SIG I can not send 
remotely.

Warm Regards,

Sue

      Dear Oracle Rdb Product Family Customer,

      It has been almost 10 years now since Oracle purchased the Rdb
family of products from Digital Equipment Corporation.  In those ten
years, Oracle has consistently supported Rdb customers by developing 
new
technologies for better performance, better management and better
interoperability with other Oracle products.  As further evidence of the
investment Oracle is making in Rdb, we're pleased to announce the
opening of the Oracle Rdb Release 7.2 Beta Test Program.  With this
release, Rdb adds support for it's third hardware architecture, HP
Integrity servers running OpenVMS for Itanium.  To join the program, 
you
can register online at the Rdb Beta Test Page (follow the "Rdb Beta
Programs" link at http://www.oracle.com/rdb).  Once your registration
application has been submitted, our Beta Program Administrator will
review it for approval.  When you log back in to the site after being
approved, you will see a page welcoming you to the program and links 
for
the documentation and software download.

      The first kit available for testing is an Advanced Developer's Kit
(ADK) version of Oracle Rdb Release 7.2.  This ADK allows Oracle Rdb
based applications to be compiled, linked and executed on OpenVMS for
Itanium.  The applications should access Rdb databases on Alpha based
systems using Rdb's standard Remote Access feature.  While the ADK 
does
not officially support accessing local Itanium Rdb databases, the
capability for such access is included as part of the ADK.  Officially
supported full native Itanium Rdb access will be available for testing
in the first quarter of calendar year 2005. With the ADK you will be
able to completely port and test your applications running on Itanium
processors.

      Oracle/CDD Repository users can also remotely access their
Alpha-resident metadata definitions when using the CDD and Rdb ADKs.

      The ADK kit includes I64 native versions of:

         * SQL Module Language
         * SQLPRE for C, Cobol, Fortran, and Pascal
         * RDBPRE for Cobol, Fortran, and Basic
         * RDML Precompilers for C and Pascal
         * Rdb Remote Access
         * Oracle/CDD Repository Remote Access (available as a
           separate download)

     A "pre-beta" version of Oracle CODASYL DBMS Release 7.2 is also
available for download under the Oracle Rdb 7.2 Beta Test Program. 
This
pre-beta kit is a fully functional I64 ported version of Oracle CODASYL
DBMS. It is being offered for early adopters who are interested in
getting a jump start on the port of their DBMS applications to Itanium
architecture-based HP Integrity servers. The Beta 1 version of Oracle
CODASYL DBMS Release 7.2 is also scheduled for the first quarter of
calendar year 2005.

      The Beta Test Program for Rdb 7.2 is expected to continue through
the third quarter of 2005.  Participants will need to obtain beta
versions of any needed I64 compilers as well as the OpenVMS Version 
8.2
Field Test release, which is now available from HP's OpenVMS field test
web site at http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvmsft/.
If your application requires DECforms, you will want to sign up for
their beta test by sending e-mail to Jane.Kelley at HP.com.

      While you are visiting the Rdb Beta Test Page, you will notice
that we are also seeking participants in beta tests of new versions of
SQL/Services and the Native JDBC drivers for Rdb.

         * The SQL/Services beta test features new support for
           two phase commit transactions between Oracle databases
           and Rdb, support for the Oracle Call interface version
           9.2.0.4 and a new Linux client.
         * The Native JDBC Drivers beta test features very
           significant performance and efficiency improvements,
           improved management using the SQL/Services management
           utility, better logging and Kanji and other multi-byte
           language support.

      We look forward to welcoming you soon to any of these beta
programs!

Best regards,
Ginger Vollmar
