Different product:

>From a posting on comp.databases:

it actually started life as a system called GIRLS. Meant for tracking 
helicopter parts. It then split into two - owned by two companies called Pick 
Systems and Microdata. Pick Systems then licenced their version which became 
Reality, D3, and a variety of others. Pick Systems has now bought back nearly 
all of its licencees and through various machinations is now a company called 
Raining Data.

The Microdata developers split up as well, leading to Revelation, Open
Insight, Prime Information, UniVerse, Unidata, ... IBM has now swallowed
up the last-named three as part of its takeover of Informix.

You can take a look at the IBM website for more information on the Unidata 
database - the IBM U2 product family:

"IBM UniData� is an extended relational database designed for embedding in 
vertical applications. This nested relational data model allows for rapid, 
intuitive data modeling and fewer resulting tables. UniData simplifies data 
management and query logic, providing more power for on-line, 
high-transaction applications."
