   I assume you mean RMS index-sequential files.   
      
   There must be a lot. If I were to guess then it is still   
   the most common VMS persistence technology.   
      
   But there are other solutions available as well.   
      
   Summary:   
      
   RMS index-sequential files         : ready   
   Rdb                                : waiting   
   SQLite                             : ready   
   external MySQL/MariaDB             : ready   
   MySQL/MariaDB                      : waiting   
   external any database via SQLRelay : ready   
   Mimer                              : ready   
   Derby/H2/HSQLDB                    : ready
