Is there any Unix database system capable of running on Sun's that
will allow you, via 'C' programming, to do the following:

Given a database of ordered records, I want to seek to an arbitrary
record by explicit key or a query on the key.  I then want to be
able to move backwards and forwards one record at a time from this
record, capable of doing arbitrary processing on each record I come
to.

Note that I do not want to select a subset of the records, and then
move forward and backward through this subset.  I want to be able
to move backward and forward through the entire (ordered) database,
given that I have 'seeked' to a particular record.

Replies by mail.  I will summarize.  Thanks.
