I seem to recall working on a product called SLR (Service Level Reporter). My (very poor) memory is of databases that looked a lot like those later introduced by DB2.

I think it said something like DB2 was IBM's real first try into relational databases. My memory is foggy here something in the back of my mind says that is not quite correct. Back in the 70's (?) I vaguely remember IBM having a FDP(?) that claimed to do relational database. By slim memory says it may have been VM based. I do remember it had a 4 page white sales type paper(IUP?). No name comes up. Can anyone supply me with a product name? I do recall something like this as we were looking at a product and the show stopper was that it needed VM. Anyone?
