  rdb
       
          A roll-your-own {database}, created in the {Unix} toolkit
          philosophy.  It appears to be written in the {awk} language,
          and is very compatible with awk.  It uses awk's syntax and can
          be combined with awk commands.
       
          The definitive introduction is "Unix Relational Database
          Management: Application Development in the Unix Environment",
          by Rod Manis, Evan Schaeffer, and Robert Jorgensen, published
          by Prentice Hall.  The book tells how to use rdb to create
          database/spreadsheets in the awk tradition, only easier. It's
          a good way to get into programming for novices.  It's also a
          good way to learn DB theory and construction quite painlessly.
