Is there any Unix database system capable of running on Sun's that will allow you, via 'C' programming, to do the following: Given a database of ordered records, I want to seek to an arbitrary record by explicit key or a query on the key. I then want to be able to move backwards and forwards one record at a time from this record, capable of doing arbitrary processing on each record I come to. Note that I do not want to select a subset of the records, and then move forward and backward through this subset. I want to be able to move backward and forward through the entire (ordered) database, given that I have 'seeked' to a particular record. Replies by mail. I will summarize. Thanks. -- -- JP Massar, Thinking Machines Corporation, Cambridge, MA -- ihnp4!godot!massar, massar@think.com.arpa -- 617-876-1111
