Comparative survey of database management systems on microcomputers
Abstract
This paper presents the results of a survey of Database Management Systems (DBMS) available on microcomputer systems where the total cost of hardware plus software is less than $25,000. Most of the information was obtained from published materials and user manuals for the systems. The survey focuses on functional characteristics and physical requirements and limitations. None of the information is based on actual usage.

Microcomputers and relational database management systems: a new strategy for decentralizing databases
Since it became known that Database Management Systems (DBMS) based on the relational model [ 1] were running on microcomputers, the MIS manager has been in a position to opt for a new strategy, namely distributing the administration and operation of ...
