An Introduction to Database Structure and Database Machines
Abstract
The five principal management objectives of database management systems are discussed, as are the four basic criteria for comparing systems. Database management systems organized along hierarchies and networks are illustrated and compared to relational database systems, which are also illustrated. Backend processors, emphasizing database machines, are described as important means of improving database management system performance and of exploiting the potential of relational databases in particular.
