Abstract

The evolutionary advancements in microprocessor technology as it relates to database management systems (DBMSs) are disĀ¬cussed. Practice and experience with five commercially available database management systems are reported, based mostly on data gathered from a series of interviews focusing on comparison among systems. Several prototype systems specifically designed to meet the needs of office information systems are identified, their conceptual framework ascertained and capabilities described. Finally, remarks on the limitations and future of microcomputer based DBMSs are made.
