Personal Pearl is an easy to use relational database information manager targeted at home users. It originated on the CP/M-80 operating system and was bundled with many 8-bit computers such as the Osborn, Morrow, and Epson computers.
It featured a menu-driven interface, an easy to use forms designer, relational features that could relate data from multiple files, and reporting.
It was ported to CP/M-86 and MS-DOS but lost market share to programs designed specifically for the IBM PC.
In the PC world, Personal Pearl competed against desktop database programs like PFS:Professional File, Reflex: The Analyst, RapidFile, IBM Filing Assistant, Alpha three, Advanced DB Master, FormManager II, and many others.
A separate Programmers Development Toolkit could generate standalone database applications.
Note: Before you can run the editor and designer, you must personalize them using the welcome program.
