Informix C-ISAM
Informix C-ISAM is embedded in literally thousands of applications in everything from traffic management systems to network routers and EPOS terminals. If you have a requirement for a zero administration record management system that supports data integrity features then this is it. ODBC and JDBC connectivity are possible. In addition, IDS allows you to integrate C-ISAM data within an instance of a relational database management system which means there are easy ways in which to provide relational access to C-ISAM data files.
