Was Pick, actually! Beat Oracle by about a year.
Pick originally ran directly on the hardware, but as hardware grew more esoteric
and there was more and more variety, they implemented it on a linux kernel.
Then, as customers realised that it was "linux underneath" they wanted
access to all the functionality of linux so it became a "database on
linux" rather than a turnkey software-and-hardware solution.

I found that interesting, but I decided against further investigation of normal
form because it would divert me from my main interests of going down the pub and
playing jazz. Oh, and going down the pub to play jazz.
That did not stop me punching 'pick' into the Linux program picker on the
off-chance of a pick-style DB. I did not find anything.
I might do some idle surfing for normal form out of curiosity.
