I replied on that directly to VSI yesterday asking why moving/porting to
Rdb was not one of the bulleted options. Rdb has some optional definitions
and functions that can be installed to an Rdb database to make it look more
like an Oracle Classic database. And there is an OCI interface.

But then, if you have large amounts of PL/SQL routines, porting to
anything might be a challange...
