Post-Relational
& Multi-Value Databases
Post-relational
and multi-value databases and utilities, based on the Pick
model, like UniVerse, UniData, jBase, RealityX, D3 and MV-Base, are still
widely used in a wide range of business environments. Data-ware offer
expert advice together with an easy means of purchasing relational database
licences and utilities via their online
catalogue.
The
Pick relational database model was devised by the legendary Dick Pick
during the Vietnam war as a means of better tracking helicopter parts
and has still never been bettered as a database model that combines ease
of use with efficiency. Although never as well known as it deserved to
be it was adopted by most major players in the business systems arena
throughout the 80's and 90's and is still widely adopted today. It still
suffers from the lack of a unique identity, different sources call it
different names in an attempt to protect their corner of the market. UniVerse,
UniData, jBase, RealityX, D3 and MV-Base are all variants of the Pick
relational database and many feel that all players would have benefited
from a consolidated approach to the market rather than the fragmentation
that has always limited Pick's commercial success.
We are especially
impressed by Pixie, who offer a variety of tools for integrating legacy
Pick-like systems with the web and other more well-known solutions and
environments. Check out the details of this on our database
products page.
Clear
Systems have been developing and supporting systems based on relational
databases since 1982 and must be among the foremost experts in the application
of the Pick model to practical business needs. Pick is now known under
many names, in several "flavours", and we can advise on the
best version for specific applications.
