9. Free Database Management Systems for Linux
Scientific computing has two parallel data needs, one the physical values
of the data itself, and the other is Database systems to manage the data.
In this document links are provided only to database resources on the net
and free Database systems. I personally do not use databases to manipulate
the data generated by my codes. gawk, sed, and other basic Unix commands
