AboutCharles Barouch Expertise I can answer a wide range of questions related to Post Relational Databases, also called MultiValue databases. I'm also well verse in Business analysis, as these databases are commonly used in business.
Here's a non-exhaustive list of databases I can answer questions on:
U2 (UniVerse, UniData), D3, AP Pro, Mentor, Ultimate, Reality, UniData, jBase, Revelation, OpenInsight, Sanyo/Icon, Fujitsu, and many more.
Experience I bring more that two decades as a programmer, analyst, trainer, presenter, and advocate for these environments. I've been the President of the international U2UG, I've spoken at OSDA, RevConf, and other conferences. I Write for International Spectrum, and I have done work in multiple countries, in countless industries.

Education/Credentials I started as an English Major, but the bulk of my education has come from real world work for companies ranging from mom-and-pop sized to massive, multinational clothing and transportation companies.
Question I am experimenting with JDBC access to multi-value data. All of the documented examples I have found for associating multi-value fields, to create virtual tables, only discuss 2-level data. I am interested in supporting at least 3-levels of data objects within an MV file.
Do you know if this can be supported?
Answer So far as I know, JDBC is limited to two levels.
However, you still have options. First off, jBase has an old interface standard, which I used to use with Delphi. Rick Wiser (formerly jBase) wrote a demo application which pulled up pictures of cars and associated them with jBase data. The software is called jBase OBjEX. Here's a link: http://www.jbase.com/knowledgebase/howto/general/windows/DelphiAndOBjEX.htm
Next, you could spend a few pennies and get mv.Net. If you do, talk to Tony Gravango at Nebula. He's a reseller and one of the sharpest tech guys on this stuff. Buying from him will get you excellent support. His address is: Tony Gravagno <TG@-RemoveThis-Nebula-RnD.com>
Or, you could pre-normalize the data to a two level and hit that version with JDBC.
You could also establish a telnet connection from your outside app and run any jBase command or program to do the rip/strip on the fly.
If you give me more details on what you are trying to do, I can give you a more targeted answer.
