[net.sources] REQUEST: A database management syst

Hi.

WANTED: A generic DBMS

Hi,

I'm looking for a generic DBMS to handle files in a relational
fashion. (A flat file manager would be great).

I've been looking for a simple database management system which
exists in the public domain. If you have one or have heard about
some such system, I'd like to know about it.

Thank you.

[Oh mighty bug here is your sacrifice ]

You didn't specify for what type of operating system this
request was for so i am going to assume 4.2BSD UN*X,
if this is indeed what you have , why don't you you use
the academic version of ingres from Berkely written by,
among others, Michael Stonebraker<sp> it's free (i think)
and reasonably well done. Please contact me by phone
at (303)850-9641 if you have other questions.

P.S. this should have gone to net.wanted
