[comp.databases] Request for PD database

powell@boston.steinmetz (Powell) (05/31/89)

I have not been fortunate anough to get any response yet from
my previous request for a database/datamanager but as the
saying goes try, try again.

Request for assistance!!!

I am currently investigating different functional optimization
strategies for engineering design. My problem is that I am
generating a lot of data from each optimization algorithm
and I need a database/datamanager to organize, filter and
analyze the data on my Sun workstation.

I know of the PD version of Ingres but this would be overkill.
I am looking for a simple database where concurrency is not
an issue. The optimization techniques will sequentially update the 
database after each iteration. I would like to be able to select
data from different runs, perform some simple curve fitting, normalization,
etc., and then ideally graph or write out the results.

I would really appreciate any software or portions of software that can be 
provided to help me with my task. A database/datamanager is critical.
I have two college students working for me this summer and there task will
be to use any database/datamanager that I receive for my problem.

My mail address is powell@crd.ge.com

Dave

How about dbm(3X-ucb). The dbm database library is efficient, provides
sequential and hashed key access and is easy use.

I'm posting this for a friend who is looking for any PD relational database
system written in C with source code to run on Unix machines of various
flavors.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Please respond by Email
since I don't get much time to read this group any more.  Thanks much.
