'''Dataphor''' is an open-source truly-[[relational database management system]] ([[RDBMS]]) and its accompanying user interface technologies, which together are designed to provide highly declarative software application development.  The Dataphor Server has its own storage engine or it can be a virtual, or federated, DBMS, meaning that it can utilize other database engines for storage.

Dataphor has been praised for its adherence to relational principles, more closely so than any SQL product.<ref name="FabianTheoryVsReligion" />
