Hi Art,
We are not convinced to use a RDB for the topology database. The main reason
is, that you can't currently put the object and the map databases to a RDB:
so where is the benefit at the moment ?
On the other hand it is very useful to put all traps into the database (We
provide trap online-reports (via web) and batch-reports).
What we prefer to do is to wait for a database re-design from tivoli.
