Other similar database packages

Besides NoSQL and RDB there are other UNIX DBMS's, both commercial and free, that are based on ASCII tables. A commercial implementation is /rdb, by Revolutionary Software, while among the free ones there are Starbase, developed by John Roll, JDB, written by John Heidemann, and Gunnar Stefansson's reldb, a collection of interesting tools available at sites that carry archives of the comp.sources.unix Usenet newsgroup.

The ASCII table format of those database engines is very close to that of NoSQL, therefore data can easily be converted back and forth between them and NoSQL.
