So far I have seen only UNIFY and ORACLE.  I don'T count INGRES because
the University here only gets the "toy" version.  At any rate, for ease
of use and non-programmability (for non-programmers) I vote for UNIFY at
the present time.

Also, the SQL language is fairly simple.  What I liked best was being able
to substanstially change the scheme and reconfigure the database with one
command and not lose any data or have to reload the database..
