ARTICLE: Initially released in 1971[2] on IBM mainframe systems using DOS/360, OS/MFT or OS/MVT, ADABAS as of 2014 is available on a range of other
systems including Unix (including Linux), and Microsoft Windowsservers. ADABAS has Parallel Sysplex support, real-time
replication capability, and SQL as well as XML access. Historically, ADABAS was used in
conjunction with Software AG's programming language NATURAL, so that many legacy applications that use ADABAS as a database on the back-end are also
developed with NATURAL as well.
Technical information:
ADABAS is an inverted list database, with the following
characteristics:
·
Files,
not tables as the major organizational unit
·
Records,
not rows as content unit within the organizational unit
·
Fields,
not columns as components of a content unit
