                I know a little bit about Intersystems Caché as I nearly did a contract using it.

                It's not a relational database but a hierachical database technology (it is related to MUMPS, an obscure and rather strange technological "dead end").

                There are SQL drivers to allow querying of the data but you are supposed to use Caché Basic (similar to VBScript) and Caché ObjectScript (which is compatible with MUMPS).

                All rather odd and niche. Used a lot in the healthcare industry in the USA.

                  I love the irony of using a product called MUMPS in the Health Industry. Anyone used ASP in a reptile zoo? Or Perl in a marina?

                  If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.
