Hi Craig, Firstly, just because few people in the industry have ever heard of UniVerse doesn't mean that it isn't widely used. The problem is that most of the users don't go out to buy UniVerse; they buy an application that runs on UniVerse but because the product doesn't need a team of specialists to keep it going, they often don't even know it's there. The user list is kept fairly secret by IBM but you can see some big names go past on this user group from time to time.
Secondly, one of the motivations behind the OpenQM project which launched an open source multivalue database a couple of months back is to bring multivalue technology to the student population thus building an awareness of the data mode in people who might otherwise never have heard of it. We already have educational users looking to teach it as part of their course material and there are several other very exciting developments that should help to bring multivalue into places it has never been before. This is not the right forum to discuss OpenQM further but, if you want to know more, visit www.openqm.com.
