Thanks for the sharing.  Up to now I have about 5 hours exposure to UniData datbase, 
I've also noticed it's also called PICK database, and my impression is that it could 
be a nasty beast.

Have you ever tried to import your RainingData PICK database into a RDBMS like MS SQL 
Server or MySQL then run querie against the RDBMS via ODBC driver or the like instead 
of going after the "beast" directly, from what you wrote the latter is no fun?
