- Does anybody know of a database system written in FRANZ or easily
- compatible with FRANZ? We have written a lot of software for a
- geographic information system, and may want to redo the section which
- handles random bits of information associated with polygons or points
- stored in a map. Right now we store this information as a property
- list on an atom associated with the polygon or point in question. This
- becomes very inefficient when we want to find all such atoms with
- a particular value for some arbitrary property. Equally importantly,
- there is very little relationship between the set of properties associated
- with each polygon or point, so a system storing a fixed length record
- for each polygon, with fields for each piece of information, would not work.
- Any suggestions?
