Hello

People always seem to wonder why bother with mumps and why not just
use Oracle, Mysql, Postgresql etc. Well some things just are not very
SQL friendly and are more suited to the hierarchical nature of the
mumps database. The following is an example of a data structure that
would be well suited to the mumps database and is not related to the
medical field at all.
