Cache' is the evolution of MUMPS and now also some of the evolution of Pick. For timing, Don Nelson designed the query language in the early to mid 60's where the MUMPS designer worked in the mid to late 60's, so MUMPS lags slightly behind, but both were there before Codd's paper on relations.
By the way, if you look at the first of Don Nelson's papers that you can get to from http://www.tincat-group.com/mewsings/2006/02/list-of-girls.html you will see that he uses the term relation in a 1965 paper. I thought that was very interesting. --dawn -- Dawn M. Wolthuis Tincat Group, Inc. tincat-group.com Take and give some delight today On 4/16/07, Norman Morgan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I thought Cache was the descendant of MUMPS. If so, it is at least as old as Pick. =========================================================== Norman Morgan <> [EMAIL PROTECTED] <> http://www.brake.com =========================================================== A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand. ===========================================================
