Pardon if this topic has been recently discussed, but what
is the current status of the Remote Database Access standard?
The last I heard was that the generic RDA standard was out for its 
second ballot, and that the SQL specialization was out for its
first.  The results of the ballot were to be made public late
in 1990.  Were they successful?

Who is experimenting with RDA?  I had heard that X3H2.1 had
formed a consortium to  develop an RDA prototype, and that it
was composed of major vendors (e.g., Tandem, DEC, Ingres, HP, 
NCR, etc.,).  Are any results available?  Is anyone else 
experimenting with RDA?
