The following is from an information sheet I have:

ULTRIX/SQL Run-time engine: 
	Full support of multiserver architecture; intelligent query optimizer

Interactive SQL terminal monitor:
	Allows databases to be created and manipulated using only the base
	system with online help language tables.

Database Adminsistrator (DBA) tools optimization tools:
	Allows DBA to create database systems and maintain them. Additionally, 
	there are optimization tools to tune for performance in such areas as 
	tunable lock management, tunable buffer management, and backup and
	recovery.

DECnet and TCP/IP network access within ULTRIX environment:
	Database tables can be shared among multiple ULTRIX systems using
	either DECnet or TCP/IP.

Documentation:
	Full set includes on-line, man-pages, and a standards cross-reference 
	table outlining commands that comply to current standards such as ANSI
	and X/Open.

Disclaimer: Although I work for DEC I only support databases running under VMS.
