"The NeXT Database Kitä permits the easy development of applications that need to access flatfile, relational, and other kinds of databases or to integrate databases quickly and easily into custom applications. The Database Kit consists of palettes of Interface Builderä objects for displaying information and allowing users to construct, access and update databases. "The Database Kit allows developers to integrate multiple databases into a single application, and port applications across different databases. The Database Kit also supports European character sets in the same manner as the underlying databases. NeXTstep Release 3 provides built-in adaptors for Oracle, SYBASE, and Teradata databases. Adaptors for other databases can be developed easily. "Every NeXT computer bundles SYBASE and Oracle client librairies and Oracle SQL*Net."
