Abstract:

This paper explores the concept of a database machine using the approach of the CODASYL data model. A database machine is defined as an integration of hardware and software for providing generalized database management capability in a physically separate device. The advantages of a database machine, along with functional specifications, are presented. Next, an illustration of using a database machine is given through an example of invoice processing using the SEED database management system on a DECsystem-10 computer. Finally, the implications of several design alternatives arising from the illustration are discussed. Author
