  ADABAS
  
     <database> 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 platforms 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 values and periodic groups.
