LinuxPR: theKompany.com Releases Version 1.0.4 of Rekall RAD DBMS Tool 
for Linux

theKompany.com is pleased to announce the 1.0.4 release of Rekall, a 
personal, programmable DBMS system for KDE. Rekall is the only viable 
alternative to MS Access for Linux. With Rekall you will be able to 
quickly and easily build database applications using Rekall forms and 
reports. A full complement of widgets means that applications built in 
Rekall will be able to have the look and feel of any other application. 
Rekall applications can be extended in their functionality to perform 
virtually any task via embedded Python as a scripting language.

Ever since the release of dBase many years ago, the idea of a 
programmable DBMS has become increasingly popular. Major systems have 
been written in applications like Paradox and MS Access. By focusing on 
the database, users are able to leverage their business knowledge into 
working applications. One of the limitations of the aforementioned 
products is that their native database didn't scale well or support 
multiple users very well. Rekall avoids this problem by dispensing with 
a native database. Rekall 1.0.4 Changes
