Comparison of Microprocessor Based Data Base Management Systems.

Abstract

In this report two leading DBMS designs (DBASE II and MDBS III) are evaluated in terms of their design and performance on Altos computer systems. In addition some comments are made on their relative advantages and disadvantages for the average user. The basic conclusions reached are that the relational design of DBASE II is easier to use and apparently performs data manipulation problems better than MDBS III. In large scale applications where reliability and security are imperative, MDBS III is more appropriate since it provides crash recovery, access control, integrity constraints and other key features which DBASE II lacks.
