         Attend our pannel discussion on "Relational Databases" and hear 
         vendors highlight their product, followed by a question and answer 
         session.
         
         The pannel discussion format provides each vendor with 10 minutes 
         to highlight their product and discuss technical issues the 
         Vancouver Island Local Digital User Group (VANISL LUG) executive 
         feel are relevent when selecting a database product.  After the 
         vendor introduction, the user community will be provided with the 
         opportunity to ask questions to any one vendor, or the pannel as a 
         whole.

         This discussion is not hardware specific.
