Hi Baalbek,
Athouh they are database editors, they are not relational database
editors. Relational database engines fit some type of problems but
others have found that RDBMS don't fit CAD data. They are just too slow
and add complexity in mapping the 'natural CAD data formats' to the
RDBMS table format.
