One of the aspects of the Unify DBMS which really appealed to me was
his low-level care about referential integrity.  I don't know much
about other DBMS'; is this a common idea?  (or do they let you build
tables any which way).  

Are there non-flatfile DBMS' on the PS/PS2 platform which guarantee
referential integrity on the scale that Unify does (i believe Unify
has given up in the PC market after version 3.2).
