A couple of weeks ago I asked for information about relational database managers for the NeXT. I was looking for something roughly comparable to dBASE on other platforms... Although I got several thoughtful responses, most seemed to agree that there isn't a lot to choose from that might fall between, say, DataPhile and Sybase or Oracle in terms of power/price. The whole notion of a relational, end-user DBMS just seems not to have happened as a NeXTstep product. (By "end-user", I'm saying that I don't want to have to be a programmer just to use the damn thing.) So, I'm looking in another direction now - a more generic DBMS that can I could run under a shell. Can anyone tell me whether Berekely's University Ingres or any other comparable public domain packages have been ported to the NeXT? (I guess part of that question is whether they'll run under NeXTstep 3.0 -- although I'm still using 2.2 for now.) Thanks for any suggestions...
