As someone who did mainframe programming for years, I'm surprised you've
not seen the mainframe world's most popular database apps on other
platforms. They are DB2 and dbase. DB2 is readable via SQL selects, and
mainframe systems can quite easily talk with other systems. In fact, I've
worked with Oracle systems on a UNIX box that directly imported records
from an MVS system running a DB2 database.
