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.
