SQL/MX releases
A SQL/MX release identifies a set of SQL/MX products as belonging to a given version of SQL/MX.
These subsections describe topics related to SQL/MX releases:
• “SQL/MX releases on systems running H-Series RVUs and J-Series RVUs” (page 60)
• “Naming scheme for SQL/MX releases” (page 60)
• “Product version and SPR identifiers” (page 62)
• “Availability of SQL/MX releases” (page 62)
• “Delivery of SQL/MX releases” (page 62)
• “RVUs and supported SQL/MX releases” (page 62)
SQL/MX releases on systems running H-Series RVUs and J-Series RVUs
SQL/MX can be installed on HP Integrity NonStop NS-series systems and on HP Integrity NonStop
BladeSystems. HP Integrity NonStop NS-series systems run H-series Release Version Updates (RVUs).
HP Integrity NonStop BladeSystems and some rack-mounted servers run J-series RVUs. Each SQL/MX
release is supported by specific release version updates (RVUs). For more information, see “RVUs
and supported SQL/MX releases” (page 62).
NOTE: Each system can support only one release of SQL/MX at a time.
Table 4 (page 60) shows the NonStop operating systems that support SQL/MX Release 3.2.

Naming scheme for SQL/MX releases
SQL/MX contains many individual products, which are identified by T-numbers. A SQL/MX release
name identifies a set of SQL/MX products as belonging to a given release of SQL/MX.
Each SQL/MX release is identified by a three-part release identifier. The following is an example
of a release identifier:
