SQL/RT is Oracle with an IBM logo on it.  Oracle sells Oracle for PC-DOS.
Part of Oracle (version 5, anyway) is Oracle*Graph.  I don't know if SQL/RT
is version 5 or not, and thus, whether Oracle*Graph comes with it or not.
I'd suggest doing some analysis to see if you were likely to need PC
software.  If not, AIX Oracle (SQL/RT) will probably perform a lot
better.  Also, it is a multi-user version, and PC-Oracle is not.
