Gee, I hope you're not implying that Intersystems' Cache has given up
supporting VMS: that was a fairly interesting product with (IIRC) MUMPS
roots.

I don't know what the Itanium situation is with any of these, but last I looked
there were at least the following relational databases on VMS:

Rdb (which is what my site uses)
Oracle
Ingres
MySQL
Mimer

and I think Cache called itself a "post-relational" database.

This page seems to show an existing port of v1.5:

(Also see http://www.ibphoenix.com/ although I can't find specific
mention of VMS there.)

I will ask on firebird-devel lists ,

Interbase it was working on VMS so an firebird port should be possible
(the vms code is still there only needs clean-up) also an sponsor
could donate for this port (like ibm is doing for their unix os).

Intersystems Cache is indeed still very active on VMS and supporting some of
the worlds largest systems.
