Analysis of the Relational Data Base Model in Support of an Integrated Application Software System.

Abstract

The premise of this thesis is that many software application systems perform similar functions on a data object and contain a significant operational intersection. An Integrated Application Software System (IASS) integrates the capabilities of the applications into one system. The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the utility of the relational database model to conceptually integrate the text processing, relational database management, form generating, electronic mail, and electronic modeling applications. The conclusion of this study is that the relational database model can conceptually support the data representation and manipulation requirements of each application considered. Furthermore, the integrated system has potential capabilities that are not available in the non-integrated set of applications. (Author)
