I have quite a bit of experience with Rdb and a bit with PostgreSQL.  
I'm pretty sure that Rdb can do more, and is almost certainly easier to 
use for VMS folks and probably more efficient as well.  Rdb is written 
in BLISS who know the VMS internals and data structures and I doubt that 
any port which is intended to remain part of some official distribution 
could even remotely compete.

Wasn't there PostGress on VMS a while back?
