The driver has a generic part that is DBMS-independent and that can be coupled with a low-level part doing the actual connection to the DBMS. In a few weeks there will be a driver for Informix DBMS, too. For the details, see the README file in the package. A demo version of Adabas D for Linux can be downloaded from SuSE at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/SuSE-Linux/5.3/suse/pay1/adabas.rpm (37 megabytes). At this location there is documentation, too. The demo version is restricted (size of DB + number of users). Please note that I've no commercial interest in announcing that; it's only that I had good experience with this particular DBMS in the past.
