In version 3.1 of Rdb, I see a component known as SQL/Services. This is apparently an API to allow programs on various computers (like MS-DOS machines) access to DSRI compliant databases on a VAX. It's a client/server model of access. The PC, in some way, will put together an SQL statement that is then shipped to the VAX which then returns the results.
