I remember those old days. I needed an RDBMS and there were none on UNIX at the time, so I wrote one. Not the way they are done today. I used a very interesting indexing scheme whereby you could do partial-match retrieval. With a telephone directory database, I could look for Smith on Smith in Smith and find everyone named smith (first, middle, or last name) on Smith St, Rd, Av, etc, in Smithville, Smithtown, etc. And do this without making a sequential search on all the records in the database. > > This database also known as Pick or Reality was a standalone OS/DBMS in > those days. > > Clive > Ah! The good old days. I do not miss them for a minute. I even knew the complete set of op-codes for the IBM 704, 709, 7094, ... and for the CCC DDP-224. I never learned the ones for the CDC machines or the IBM/360 series though, and I forgot the ones for the GE 635/645. -- selinux mailing list selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/selinux
