Hi, As Bas mentions, the NaviServer database API was an original implementation from about 1994. The commands were originally centered around the Postgres database and shortly after that it was fitted to the Illustra database, which at the time was a commercial version of Postgres. Some of the newer commands that were added included stored procedures in Sybase. There are even more new commands in the newer Postgres driver and Arsdigita's Oracle driver. All of these commands are implemented in the database drivers themselves and aren't really considered part of AOLserver anymore, though they integrate themselves seamlessly.
