RDBMS?

Where did the Relational Database Management System go?

How many of you remember software like dBase, R:BASE, DataFlex, Informix, Revelation for DOS? Do you remember companies like Ashton-Tate and MicroRIM?

They used to produce the software that can store, manage and manipulate data using 4GL (4th generation language). Experienced VARs (Value Added Resellers or Systems Integrators) can put together custom database solutions in very short period of time and deliver it to the customers.

I don’t see them any more. People are using SQL and other database software with the languages like PERL, PHP and C, C++ to program custom application software, which adds lots of cost and time. May be because it is not simple DOS environment but that should not be an excuse to make thing more difficult.

If you know any good RDBMS with 4GL, please let me know.
