  ADABAS
       
           A {relational database} system by {Software AG}.
          While it was initially designed for large {IBM} {mainframe}
          systems (e.g. {S/370} in the late 1970s), it has been ported
          to numerous other {platform}s over the last few years such as


          several flavors of {Unix} including {AIX}.
       
          ADABAS stores its data in tables (and is thus "relational")
          but also uses some non-relational techniques, such as
          {multiple value}s and {periodic group}s.
