An Oracle Rdb database is a database for Digital's 64-bit platform. Oracle Rdb servers appear the same way to clients as Oracle8i database. An Oracle Rdb database has its own listener. Client configuration consists of creating a net service name with Oracle Rdb-specific parameters to access the database.

To configure the client for an Oracle Rdb database:

1. Create a net service name, as described in Create a Net Service Name.

2. In the right pane's Service Identification box, choose Advanced. The Advanced Service Options dialog box appears.

3. Enter the file name of an Oracle Rdb database in the Rdb Database field.

4. Optionally, enter the global database name in the Global Database Name field, and, if needed, the type of service in the Type of Service field.

5. In the Advanced Service Options dialog box, choose OK.

6. In the right pane, choose Apply.

7. Choose File > Save Network Configuration.
