That's true at the basic DML level. But a lot of developers used declarative
4GLs that abstracted away from such detail.

Actually, I don't think ADABAS ever was a CODASYL DBMS... it's essentially a
hierarchic database rather than a network database.

And Tamino is not implemented over ADABAS, though it does reuse code from
some of the lower-level components such as locking, page caching, and
indexing.
