relational DBMS for Unix
If anyone is interested in database management systems under Unix, there is a
relational DBMS called MISTRESS which runs under Onix, Xenix, and Unix version
6, 7, or PWB, on any PDP-11 or LSI-11/23. MISTRESS has been developed by
Rhodnius Incorporated, a company whose principals include John Kornatowski and
Ivor Ladd, the major authors of Univ. of Toronto's MRS database system.
MISTRESS features an English-like query language (a subset of SEQUEL II), a
variety of data types including date and dollar, interfaces to C and the Unix
shell, interactive creation of tables and entry/update/deletion of data as
well as bulk entry of data, and a built-in line editor for correcting mistakes
in entering query language commands or entering/updating data.
Documentation available is: i) Principles of Operation; ii) The Query Language
iii) Host-language Interface; iv) Application Examples; v) Beginner's Guide;
and vi) Installation Guide.
The price of MISTRESS is $5K commercial, $2.5K educational, which includes 1
year's support. Copies of the Principles Of Operation, a good general
overview of the system, price list, software licence, and documentation order
form are available on request. For more information, contact: Rhodnius Inc.,
