Managing Information on IT

Abstract

A press announcement that the Sybase database management system (DBMS) is available on the latest SUN workstation with 40 MIPS (million instructions per second) is the latest of many over the last few months to help sketch the shape of computing for the '90s. The picture is one of open systems software operating new client‐server DBMS's which refine the basic relational database (RDB), and which provide structured data and images and free text from one source via local area networks or integrated service data networks on normal telephone circuits.
