It's called CDB.
QUESTION: Have you used it? I need to get opinions quickly!
In short:
- heavily Unix oriented RDB; emphasises using Unix tools rather
than one more RDBMS to learn,
- SQL and true RDBMS (tools, and admin support), not
just a C kernel,
- combination on SQL, True RDBMS and Unix Tools should mean
a lot less C coding.
- C-callable library if you want to use it,
- cost as follows: $700 per Sun workstation, $400 one-time
for C-callable library. At the critical threshold of
four sun workstations, you would jump to his quantity
discount which is $2900 for 10 licenses and you're
free of more payments till we pile up 10 boxes. So
the payment possibilities would look like
2 Suns $1390
3 Suns $2085
4 Suns $2780
5 to 10 Suns $2900

C Database Management System Toolkit
The C Database Management System Toolkit (Cdb Toolkit) is a high
performance relational database system that is both easy to use and
powerful.
The Cdb Toolkit consists of a large set of end user programs designed to
create, manipulate, organize, and format relational databases and
database systems under the UNIX environment.
The Cdb tools are used to produce and maintain information tracking

Using a UNIX tools approach creates an easily learned, dynamic, and
