Trusted Oracle, to my knowledge, had nothing to do with Rdb. Lots of useful stuff came into the Oracle code from the Digital guys.

I believe it *is* still sold; it is certainly still supported. As to why you would buy it, I don't know why anyone would have bought it when Digital was at its prime. I've never liked it. But, it is secure. As of 1993, it was rated B1, when no other database was higher than C2 (they were bound to the operating system to provide security). I think Oracle ingested Rdb's internals and it became Trusted Oracle; but, if you want the Real McCoy, you want Rdb. Of course, if you *really* want the Real McCoy, you need VMS, too (which is rated in the A's with the duplicate password and the generate password and the min password length features). Due to a sudden reversal of earth and sky, VMS is available exclusively from HP.

RDB was bought from Digital Corporation many years ago. Supposedly a lotof the CBO was lifted from it.
