Have you taken a look at the database from "Illustra Information Technologies" ? It is featured as #1 in the article "Twelve companies that define the direction of the database industry" in the journal "Database Programming & Design" Dec 95 issue. I saw them at the DB-Expo in nyc in dec 95. This appears to fit your requirement.

    You can contact them at
