'''Linter SQL RDBMS''' is the main product of [[RELEX Group]]. Linter is a Russian DBMS compliant with the [[SQL-92:2003]] standard<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://linter.ru/en/review/characteristics/|title = СУБД ЛИНТЕР — Авторизация}}</ref> and supporting the majority of operating systems, among them [[Microsoft Windows|Win32]] (including [[WinCE]]), [[NetWareWindows]], various versions of [[Unix]], [[OS9]], [[QNX]], [[VxWorks]] and others. The system enables transparent interaction between the client [[Application software|applications]] and the database server functioning in different [[Computer hardware|hardware]] and [[Computer software|software]] environments. DBMS Linter includes program [[Interface (computer science)|interfaces]] for the majority of popular development tools. The system provides a high [[data security]] level allowing the user to work with secret information. Linter is the only [[DBMS]] certified by FSTEC of Russia as compliant with Class 2 data security requirements and Level 2 of undeclared feature absence control. For more than tenmany years, Linter has been used by Russian [[Ministry of Defence (Russia)|Ministry of Defense]], [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Russia)|Ministry of Foreign Affairs]] and other government bodies.

==History==

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, the [[Voronezh]] construction design office "Systemprogramm" had successfully completed the relational DBMS "BARS" under the [[real-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" and [[Intel 8086]] control modules to SM1702 and "Electronika-82" computer complexes and their [[VAX]] 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 on [[PostgreSQL]] 7.2 This system is also available for OS MSVS.<br>
