AS/400 comes with DB2/400, a relational database.

I have to wonder when y'all argue that relational databases are a
marketing-driven fad.  That's so ... twentieth-century.  Relational
databases won a hard-fought war because people found that they were more
productive.  Not only is Oracle more popular than Image, so is DB2, so is
SQL/Server, and even lesser players such as Informix.
