That isn't the case. A system that manages inventory and orders
will use a database on a system where databases are available.
But say the DBMS requires a full posix environment.
This implies that if I can't get a full posix, there is no database
to communicate with and I have to do things in a different way,
which means I *don't* call the posix socket functions (which don't
work anyway) and use some other module to manage things in a
different way instead.
