I have scripted a hierarchical, binary-tree database in Transcript which is 
open-source and royalty-free.  Relational indexes are NOT built in, but 
must be created and maintained individually.

Serendipity Database--Binary (SDB) is available for download at 
<http://wecode.org/serendipity/>.  The download includes client and server 
software for multiuser operation, stacks for automated testing & examples, 
and reference stacks...along with Serendipity Library.  Also included are 
RAD tools for adding SDB support to existing Rev stacks and creating 
database data dictionary record descriptions from existing stacks.

SDB offers:

         * A native Transcript database engine running on all platforms 
supported by Revolution with NO modification

         * Standalone and client/server operation with the same front end 
(the later including automatic & specific record locking)

         * Multi-lingual and user-translatable capabilities (shipping with 
support for Dutch, English, French, German & Spanish)
