RDB/VMS Relational Database Operator OPEN — VMS RDB_3.1A

 Optimizes database attach operations for all database users by
 mapping the database root file for each process.  Overhead normally
 charged to your process is absorbed by Rdb/VMS when you use the OPEN
 statement.

 You must have ADMINISTRATOR privilege on the database access control
 list to use the OPEN statement.

 Digital Equipment Corporation recommends that you use the RMU/OPEN
 command instead of the RDO statement OPEN.
