FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Centura Software Completes Acquisition of Raima Corporation

Combination Creates Embedded Database Powerhouse Providing Solutions
From Information Appliances to Web and Application Servers


(Redwood Shores, CA)-June 7, 1999-Centurar Software Corporation
(NASDAQ: CNTR), leader of secure, embedded micro and e-business
databases and development solutions, announced today that it has
completed the acquisition of Raima Corporation.

Centura issued 5.8M shares of stock valued at $6.0M to complete the
acquisition, based on the closing price of $1.03 on June 4th, 1999.  The
acquisition included Raima Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary,
Vista Development Corporation, which provides consulting services for
Raima products.

"This acquisition extends our offering of embedded database products
connecting people to information anywhere.  From UNIX or Linux Internet
servers to Microsoft Windows desktops to the smallest embedded systems
and information appliances, we can provide a solution," said Scott
Broomfield, CEO and President of Centura Software. "Through the
combined talents of both the Centura and Raima teams, we have
strengthened our product depth and expertise in this market and we are
strongly positioned to dominate the growing embedded database market."

With the acquisition, Centura adds two Raima products, Raima Database
Manager (RDM) and the Velocis Database Server (Velocis).  RDM addresses
the rapidly growing Information Appliance and RTOS (Real Time Operating
System) markets, which IDC estimates will be shipping 26.5M units by
2001.  RDM has a long history as the small, yet powerful embedded
database solution for industry leading companies such as Nortel
Networks in its BroadBand Signaling Transfer Point system, and more
recently, Sigma Game in its Select Series of video slot machines.  At
the other end of the embedded database spectrum is Velocis with its
multi-platform, client/server database engine. The robust Velocis
engine is ideal for supporting the exploding Internet market
requirements for Web server, application server, and other server
designs-representative deployments include Computer Associates'
ARCserve backup management system and Hewlett-Packard's (formerly
DAZEL's) MetaWeb Web publishing system.  These products complement
Centura's SQLBase SafeGarde offering, which continues to provide the
only secure embedded database solution for PC Server, desktop and
portable systems.  Information stored on these types of PC systems is
widely dispersed, often around the globe, and hence is at risk.
SQLBase SafeGarde is the only embedded database that protects the
privacy of the data it stores via 56-bit DES or 128-bit triple-DES
encryption.  In response to customer requests and overall needs of the
market, Centura will migrate this security technology to RDM and
Velocis.

Centura is committed to ensuring that RDM and Velocis customers
continue to receive ongoing product upgrades along with the superior
level of customer support they have come to expect from Raima.  In
addition, the Centura Consulting Group will add the talents of Raima's
consulting organization, Vista Development, to offer current and future
customers a wide range of technical, operational and business
expertise.

Founded as Gupta in 1984, Centura was the first company to create fully
relational client/server embedded DBMS for the personal computer.
Today, Centura is the leader in providing secure, embedded, micro and
e-commerce database solutions, and the connectivity necessary to
integrate these solutions into core business systems. Centura products
include Centura Team Developer and Centura Web Developer application
development tools, Centura's net.db e-commerce solution, SQLHost,
SQLBase Exchange and the SQLNetwork family of database connectivity
solutions. In addition, Centura offers a variety of embedded database
products, including RDM, Velocis, SQLBase Suite, SQLBase SafeGarde and
SQLBase SafeGarde Max. Centura has 19 offices around the world in North
America, Latin America, Asia/Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and
Africa. All current Centura product offerings are Year-2000 (Y2K)
compliant. For more information about Centura, visit
