- Database Management System
-
- /rdb is a RDBMS and applications development system for UNIX. Unlike other 4GL
- systems, /rdb is an extension of UNIX -- making the full power of UNIX
- available in applications development. Relations, or tables, are regular ASCII
- files. /rdb commands are shell-level programs which read tables from the
- standard input and write tables on the standard output. All relational
- operators are supported, as well as fast access methods, a vi-like forms
- editor, a powerful report generator, menus, and data transformation
- utilities
-
- With /rdb, views, reports, and even complex applications are implemented as
- shell programs with a few lines of commands and pipes. Because ad hoc queries
- are made at the shell level, development time is greatly reduced and there is
- little CPU overhead
-
- Close integration with UNIX allows /rdb to go wherever UNIX goes. As such, /rdb
- supports applications requiring networks, client-server interactions, and X
- Window Systems.
