Could be referring to Red Brick.  I believe they provide a third party index
(and other tools or utilities) that is much faster than Oracles native
index.

	A friend just asked me a question...he just mentioned that someone
he knew
	had just landed a job at AOL, working with a database that was
described
	as being *bigger* then Oracle, with the substring "red" in the
name...and
	earning something like $150+K US...

	Anyone have any ideas?

I was just about to say the same thing.  Informix bought Red Brick in
January ('99).
