+GigaBASE: Object-Relational Database Management System
+
+GigaBASE inherits most of the features of FastDB, but uses page pool instead
+of direct mapping of file on virtual memory. So GigaBASE is able to handle
+database, which size significantly exceeds size of computer physical memory.
+Convenient and flexible C++ interface makes development of application for
+GigaBASE very easy and automatic scheme evaluation simplifies maintenance
+and modification of the system. GigaBASE merges best features of relational
+(simple data structure and non-procedural query language) and object-oriented
+(direct object references, user defined types and methods) databases.
+GigaBASE is primary oriented on application requiring fast data retrieving
+by means of indices and direct object references, such as Web Server databases
+applications.
+
+SUBSQL utility can be used for database browsing and inspection, performing
+online backups, database recovery, importing data to and exporting data from
+database. GigaBASE will perform automatic recovery after system or application
+crash, you should not worry about it. The only thing you can have to do manually
+is stopping all database application if one of them is crashed leaving database
+blocked.
