Linter SQL RDBMS is the main product ofRELEX Group. Linter is a Russian DBMS compliant with theSQL:2003 standard[1] and supporting the majority of operating systems, among themWindows, various versions ofUnix,QNX, and others. The system enables transparent interaction between the clientapplications and the database server functioning in differenthardware andsoftware environments. DBMS Linter includes programinterfaces for the majority of popular development tools. The system provides a highdata security level allowing the user to work with secret information. Linter is the onlyDBMS certified by FSTEC of Russia as compliant with Class 2 data security requirements and Level 2 of undeclared feature absence control. For many years Linter has been used by RussianMinistry of Defense,Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other government bodies.
The history of Linter dates back to 1980. The system has domestic predecessors whose developers later took direct part in the creation of Linter. By 1983, according to a state order, theVoronezh construction design office "Systemprogramm" had successfully completed the relational DBMS "BARS" under thereal-time operating system "RAFOS" (RT-11 prototype) for computers of the SM set. Since 1985, the system developers accepted the mobility, compatibility and openness concept. As a result, DBMS "INTEREAL" was implemented.
The system covered a wide spectrum of hardware and software platforms, from "Electronika-85" andIntel 8086 control modules to SM1702 and "Electronika-82" computer complexes and theirVAX prototypes. In 1990, the DBMS development team founded the research-and-production company "RELEX" ("Relational Expert Systems"). At this time DBMS Linter was launched.
In the late 1990s, Linter-VS 6.0 was developed as part of a project performed by RELEX for the Russian Ministry of Defense. The prototype of the system was Linter 5.7 (1999) developed by RELEX. Linter-VS 6.0 is available only for OS MSVS (mobile system of the armed forces). There also exists Linter-VS 6.0.1 developed in VNIINS based onPostgreSQL 7.2 This system is also available for OS MSVS.
RelX Embedded, a compact American/Japanese-developed version of Linter is implemented inSony products, including a Linter phone (Sony Ericsson SO903i),[2] as well as aKenwood Navigation System ("HDD[Smá:t]Navi Emotional Sound" HDV-990 and HDV-790).[3]
