Interesting features
Schema handling (type# assignment) by ddl rather than type#
Recovery tools for corruption repair, ensure data integrity w/o full backup (ensure operation)
Scalable admin tools
Multiple file databases
Domain admin based upon quorum, not unanimous
Online documentation & error documentation
Persistent external "OID" for data sharing
Copying - reclustering
Access control - user, group, R,W,U (w/ AMS)
Streamifying objects with relations (transport to other fdb)
Query methods
Locate file from OID without opening object of db
Find locks on files (for disk cache purge)
