>That depends on your definition of a database

IBM's Unidata renamed "database" to "account".  Unidata's databases, so
to speak, are directory structures.  Some files in a base directory,
others are in sub directories.

If you want to see a whacked non-rdbms solution, you should read a
whitepaper, or two, on Unidata.

It has a total of four datatypes, which probably is fine, but no real
limit on data lengths.

The query language is most-non-intuitive, but that is with my SQL
background.  You cannot join tables in Unidata.  You must first run a
query to retrieve key values which are automatically cached by Unidata.
The next query you run uses, then clears these cached keys.  If you goof
up on the second query, you must re-run the first query to cache the
keys, then try the second query again.

That is when I decided that being a Unidata DBA was not in my career
objectives.
