Pick/MVDB Today

[Danny Spell]

I used P1ME INFORMATION back in the 80s, and into the 90s I used PICK running on Linux.

Has it changed a lot in the past 15 years?

In the last 6 years, I've been in the MySQL space.

Is there a community edition of any of the PICK/MVDBs out there?
If so, which ones?


Thanks,
Danny

Hi Danny -- 

I used Prime Information back in the day too. I'm working with ONgroup Intl. They just announced a FREE production-usable version of MultiValue running on SQL Server Express (also free). There is a link from the homepage to apply to be part of the current tour of the product, resulting in an annual $0 license. It has MV BASIC, the MV query language and the usual colon prompt capabilities.

See http://www.ongroup.com

Take and give some delight today

The mainstream MV players today are probably: 

D3 [Pick] - Rocket Software

U2 - Rocket Software

Reality - Northgate Software

jBASE - Zumasys

OpenQM - Ladybridge Software (distributed by Zumasys)

Personally, I think once of the nicest implementations with great support and documentation, and available as a free developer version, is OpenQM.

All of the above run on Linux and Windows.  OpenQM runs on other platforms as wel,l such as OSX and even Raspberry Pi.
