Mimer SQL is currently *the* database server available for VMS x86-64.

(we are still waiting for Oracle Rdb and MySQL/MariaDB)

Given that the updated Rdb release date was originally ~18 months ago,
that is not good. Can anyone give an updated reason for the delay ?

The Rdb team gave some indications about the technical aspects of the
project in a presentation some months ago.

Rdb on x86: close to beta testing, but before that you need to have
ported all products in the family and
passed an internal security certification. So the beta test schedule has
been slightly delayed.
To obtain internal approvals for beta testing and production, it would
be good if customers could testify to
how important it is for them to have Rdb on x86. Description of
applications, importance to the company,
need for Rdb on x86, desired timetable. Don't hesitate to contact Kevin
at kevin.duffy@oracle.com . Test
conditions: VMS 9.2-3, OEL (Oracle Enterprise Linux) 8 KVM for
hypervisor or deployed in the Oracle Cloud
(OCI). The choice of OEL KVM offers significant licensing advantages by allowing rCLhard partitioningrCY / paying
only for the cores that are used.
