Having just read a couple of flyers from UNIFY on their DBMS, particularly the newest release (3.2?, whatever), i must say i am impressed by the description and claims. Part of what interests me is the availability of different link/searching schemes (hashing, B-tree, etc.) depending on the type of key and the types of queries expected to be issued on it. The fact that they have both Unix and MS-DOS versions of the runtime system is nice, too. Can those of you who know about things databasey comment on UNIFY, its speed and limitations as well as its utility for distributed DB applications? i am asking the list maintainer to send this through Usenet channels to the net.database group, but i would still like input from info-unix readers. Please reply directly to me. Thanks. -neville ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ U.S. Mail: Neville D.
