This is porting apps from OpenVMS over to the Sector7 "OpenVMS" 
environment, I presume?  If so, I'd not expect Oracle Rdb in the target 
environment, so migrating Rdb calls to PostgreSQL client calls—and 
quite possibly to a PostgreSQL server either operating co-resident on 
or networked with the Sector7 run-time environment—could well be a 
reasonable approach for folks that want off of VSI or HPE OpenVMS for 
any of various reasons, but want to reduce or avoid or defer the effort 
involved in rewriting their app source code.
