Data Base Management System for Microcomputers
Abstract
Many of the existing data base management systems have been developed for large applications such as big business. However other applications such as small businesses can also benefit from the managerial information which can be provided by a computer data base. This thesis develops a stand-alone data base management system using a microcomputer with floppy disk auxiliary storage and the UCSD Pascal software package. This system has the capability to create, update, delete and insert information, and to respond to user inquiries. Because of the limited storage capacity and relatively slow access speeds of floppy disks, the system will only satisfy small applications. However, the advent of compatible hard disk systems for microcomputers will enable the system to be used for significantly larger applications.
