Richard, I can't see the need for yet another notes file. Won't
this new notes file contain lots of information thats relevent here;
for example where would I now look for say Oracle or Ingres data
-- they are both competion for Rdb/VMS & Rally.

I think the new conference is a good idea. Since most 4GL's are
evolving to support a number of different databases. In sales
situations the driving factor can be either the database or the
development tools.
True, most 4GL's are tied to a particular database. But that situation
is rapidly changing. Just as DB2 now supports a great variety of
development environments layered on it, Rdb is becoming a VAX version
of that scenario.
Maybe the whole thing (Rally competition & Rdb competition) should be
renamed to Competitive_database_4GL.
