Conclusion

The Ace kernel is a versatile database manager. It is fast, easy to configure and has a powerful grammar. Since the source code is available, it can be recompiled on any platform and many people have contributed modules and corrections. The client server architecture and the Perl and Java interfaces make it suitable for any application where the schema is complex and the data heterogeneous. The Ace kernel can be used independently of the graphic interface.

We believe that the Ace kernel is sufficiently fast and robust to support the human genome sequencing project as well as it has supported the C.elegans project and plan to continue to improve its speed and quality over the next years. We also welcome innovative uses for Acedb outside the biological community.
