Editing IMAGE (database) (section)

==History==
The significant highlights of IMAGE are:

* Originally released as IMAGE/3000 around 1972 as a $10,000 option, but later included free as part of the MPE operating system.
* Bundled with the [[PA-RISC|HP Precision Architecture RISC]] Computers along with HP ALLBASE/SQL, a Relational DBMS, on the MPE/XL operating system.
* Several [[Fourth-generation programming language]] products (Powerhouse, Transact, Speedware, Protos) became available from third party vendors.
* New capabilities were added including the increase of storage capacity and increase of several internal limitations such as the number of SETS allowed in a database.  IMAGE/3000 was renamed TurboIMAGE due to these new capabilities.
* HP provided a Third Party Interface (TPI) to DISC's OMNIDEX and Bradmark's SUPERDEX products.
* HP announced the end of life for the HP3000 which included TurboIMAGE.
* Marxmeier released Eloquence which is schema and API compatible with TurboIMAGE and allows TurboIMAGE applications to run on [[Microsoft Windows]] and [[HP-UX]].
* Stromasys released an HP3000 emulator allowing TurboIMAGE applications to be run on commodity hardware.
