Overview

<P>

Reality is a software environment that supports Reality applications on UNIX and Windows (NT, 2000 and XP) systems. The applications support environment supplied by Reality is a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS), supporting multiple databases on a single host platform, a range of powerful utilities for database management and inquiry, and a set of utilities for operating system resources.

Multiple Databases
</H2>
<P>

Any number of databases can be created and maintained on the host. The only restriction is disk space availability. This allows independent and secure use of different databases by different departments or groups using the system. Each database comprises a collection of data organised in relational data structures enabling easy access to, and manipulation of data.
