Yep! Rdb. That's where I used 'em. Once I took a program that I'd written to use SQL, and ported it to use regular files on the disk, and I did it by rewriting my module API in C. I never actually recompiled the program itself. I simply relinked with set of C subroutines that mimicked my SQL Module interface, but that went to disk files (indexed files I think, but it was so long ago I don't recall for sure). It was pretty cool. I could switch between using SQL and files simply by relinking.
