Version 6 of Oracle will be available on 2.0 AUX.  Currently, the beta
version of V6 Oracle is available on AUX 2.0 .  The production version
will be coming out around Nov.  V5 Oracle is available on AUX 1.1 as well.

Well yes and know. These companies produce multi-product database platforms
at multiple release levels. Some or all of these products may not be available
for the release you are referring to.

As far as I know in the UK at least the following products are available
for A/UX II.

        Informix: SQL 4GL RDS/ID ESQL/C C-ISAM (Wingz)
          (A notable exception here is OnLine - guess they are treating the 
           Mac as a networked db workstation)
      
		Ingres:  Release 5.0 Full DBMS product set.
          (I have only seen 5.0 on A.UX 1.1. Anybody seen the much improved
           Release 6 product)

		Oracle for Macintosh.
		  (Everything done via Hypercard. If you have SQL*Forms applications
           to port - forget it)

The following are rumoured to be ported but still seem to be unavailable.

		Oracle: 5.1
		 (Lets hope we can get 6.0 ported and shipping soon ..)

I have no idea about the rest

		Unify 2000 / Accell
		Sybase

The above is all I know or have heard. If anyone has information on more
recent developments that I have not mentioned, please let me know.

AUX 2.0 is expected to be out around November.
