RE: Unidata DB
Yeah...I forgot about GIRLS! There was also a series of companies called Ultimate (used DEC LSI and Honeywell hardware), General Automation (the Zebra line), and others. Revelation was a PC-based product initially published by Cognos if I remember correctly. It required the 8087 numeric processor be added to your 8088 or 8086 system. I seem to recall the Stauffer name from Pick conventions of years past. Did you do work with Pick and it's variants?

RE: Unidata DB
Unidata is a clone of the PICK operating system from a
long
way back. PICK's biggest asset was the notion of
'multivalues'.
Instead of a row-and-column view of things, individual data
elements
could have multiple values in the same row. It makes for a
single
table ('file' in PICK/Unidata/UniVerse) where you'd need
multiple
tables in Oracle, or you'd need to define a 'nested object' in
the newer Oracle releases.
My first job was on a Microdata 1600, which ran the REALITY
o/s.
Dick Pick worked for Microdata in the early days. The
opening
page of the manuals always said "Welcome to Reality".
Ahh...the
good old days.

RE: Unidata DB
There is a database called UniData and it is now owned by IBM. They bought Informix, which owned UniData. UniData is a real pig to work with especially in a multi database platform environment where you need to migrate data between different database systems.

RE: Unidata DB
Ah... It looks like it related to the IBM takeover of Informix... UniData UniData is an extended-relational, ODBC-compliant database that supports repeating groups, hierarchies, and arrays. UniData offers both best-of-breed native interfaces with ActiveX, Java and C interfaces as well as industry standard interfaces such as ODBC, OLEDB, and HTTP. UniData 6.0, targeted for 2H of 2002, will include enhancements to openness, security, robustness and scalability. This release will provide a native JDBC driver as well as support for XML input and output from the database engine. Security improvements come from the added support of Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for the HTTP and Socket interfaces as well as encryption options for the U2 clients. UniData 6.0 will include real-time replication functionality as part of the core database features as well as SQL optimization and additional data type support for Microsoft tool access to UniVerse. Finally, an updated Java applet-based administration tool will allow administration of multiple U2 systems either through the included client or any Java-enabled web browser. IBM intends to continue to enhance, sell and support UniData and to fulfill Informix's intention to deliver UniData 6.0 and beyond. -Original Message- Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2002 10:34 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I have not heard of it but for info you can start at http://www-4.ibm.com/software/data/u2/unidata/ Rick "KENNETH JANUSZ" To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Unidata DB Sent by: root@fatcity. com 02/14/2002 08:43 AM Please respond to ORACLE-L Has anyone heard of Unidata DB.

RE: Unidata DB
UniData and UniVerse are extended relational databases that were acquired as part of the Informix buyout. UniData was originally developed by the UniData Company and UniVerse was developed by VMark; VMark also developed Data Stage, using the UniVerse DB. The two companies merged to form Ardent, which then merged with Informix. Then Informix split itself in two, with the various Informix databases, including UniData, being bought by IBM while Data Stage and other data warehouse stuff remained with Informix, which was renamed Ascential Software. Here's a link. UniData and UniVerse together are referred to as U2 by IBM. http://www-3.ibm.com/software/data/u2/ Mark Janke American Trans Air -Original Message-From: KENNETH JANUSZ [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2002 8:44 AMTo: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-LSubject: Unidata DB Has anyone heard of Unidata DB.
