Integrated Database Management System

database (IDMS) A network DBMS written by the staff of

B.F.Goorich (Akron, Ohio, USA) circa 1972 and sold to

Cullinet (Originally Cullinane, now part of ComputerAssociates).

IDMS was licensed to ICL in 1976 for porting to, and

subsequent development on, their computers. It was

implemented on the ICL 1900 Series (DME George 2,

George 3, CME, TME), System 4, and ICL 2900 Series

(later Series 39 Corporate Servers). The latest version runs

on Series 39 OpenVME as IDMSX (IDMS extended).
