What's a MultiValue Database ? ( information courtesy of the Maverick database site )
MultiValue databases have been around for about 30 years, starting off with The Pick Operating System (Pick OS). You've probably heard of relational databases, well, MultiValue databases can be relational, but their method of storing data is much more flexible than the 2 dimensional table you normally associate with relational databases, i.e., you can store multiple fields within a field. On top of which, they are extremely fast in operation.
