Clues? I have enough clues to satisfy Scooby Doo.
As for databases, I have two... check on sunsite.unc.edu in /pub/Linux/apps.
There is ingres and mbase there. I don't know much about databases (as I only
programed them when I was 1) too young to know better and 2) when I was totally
broke. Besides, I never compiled.), but mbase is supposed to be a pretty simple
system, while ingres allows for more complex queries and records (but not
SQL)
