Abstract

The database manager ranks with the word processor and the spreadsheet as being one of the most important applications software packages for the small computer. A relational database system allows two or more databases to be used concurrently, the manipulation of one affecting the manipulation of the others. A circulation system is a good example of a relatively simple relational database management system. dBASE IV, microcomputer‐based package that can be employed for many library applications, is compared to its predecessor, dBASE III Plus, and is recommended pending elimination of existing bugs.
