Adding to Brian Leach's and Bill Haskett's posts, and I fully support that we will not get into which is better for they are different due to their lineage as Charles stated.
Structural Differences: High Availability - UniData's before and after image capabilities in the Recoverable File System (RFS) provide for a more robust solution for recoverability. U2 Lab Services is investigating if the before and after image logs can be used to build Change Data Capture for Data Warehousing Applications. UniVerse only has a post image log architecture. National Language Support - UniVerse can handle multi-byte languages and supports operating systems implementations of how to work with the native language of the individual. UniData can handle any language that can fit into the 256 bit structure of characters. Distributed Files - UniVerse has the ability to have distributed files, where you can cut a large file into pieces, called partfiles. When the partfiles are created, index(es) are stored with the partfiles. Stated another way, all of the indexes related to the partfile are contained with the partfile. Steve Stephen M.
