Worked with it for about three years. It is a multi-value database that follows the design of the Pick database. A field can hold more than one piece of data, much like an array. Good luck in trying to hire anyone with any experience programming against a multivalue database. I would say this is a shrinking market. If you have to integrate this database with other database platforms(Oracle, SQL Server, DB2) then I wish you luck. It also is going to be a real pain trying to train your (L)user that will be running queries against this database with tools like excel and access. If possible I would try to stay away from it.

Just my $.02

Does, or has, anyone worked with IBM's UniData DB? Positives and negatives? Where is this product going? Any comments whatsoever.

Thanks,
Ken Janusz, CPIM
