Design and Implementation of a Relational DBMS for Microcomputers

F. Cesarini * and G. Soda

Dipartimento di Sistemi e Informatica v. S. Marta 3, Florence, Italy

The aim of this paper is to present the design and implementation of Mimirel, a relational Data Base Management System for microcomputers especially directed to non-specialist end users. The system overcomes architectural limits of microcomputers by means of a physical data organisation which allows space saving and fast inquiring. Furthermore, the user interface has been developed so as to take the needs of typical microcomputer end user into account. The critical operations are system driven in a conversational way and suitable facilities are provided for the inquiring. The Mimirel system has been fully implemented in Pascal, under the CP/M operating system and so it is highly portable.
