I'm not familiar with any newer comparisons betweeen RR and RB; with RB 
being such a lower-level language it seems there's little interest in 
such comparisons in either camp.

But if you're asking about using Rev with DBMSs, you've come to the 
right place.  Folks here connect Rev to everything from Valentina to 
MySQL to Oracle, locally, LAN, and WAN.

What sort of info are you looking for?
