Abstract
It is generally known that the use of a single general-purpose digital computer
with dedicated software for database management as a backend to offload the
mainframe host computer from database management tasks yields no appreciable
gains in performance and functionality. Research is therefore being pursued to
replace this software backend approach to database management with an architecture
approach which will yield good performance and new functionality.
The aim of the proposed research is to investigate whether for the managanent
of very large databases the use of multiple mini-computer systems in a parallel...
