- dv_Vista, now known as Raima Data Manager is "networked" model data base
- manager which links records in Owner-Member set relationships. Since it
- doesn't require (but incidentally allows) relational links through Primary and
- Foreign keys, it yields databases that are more compact and faster than ISAM
- style "relational" models. The downside is a fairly steep learning curve.
- WHen I'm allowed to choose my own tool, my choice is Raima.
