Scientific computing has two parallel data needs, one the physical values
of the data itself, and the other is Database systems to manage the data. In
this document links are provided only to database resources on the net and free
Database systems. I personally do not use databases to manipulate the data generated
by my codes. gawk, sed, and other basic Unix commands like grep, head and tail
seem sufficient to manipulate any data I generate. I thought I should include
this section for the large data generators. Hopefully a person with experience
in databases will make this section better.
