Abstract

During the 1960's and 1970's commercial database management systems focused on transaction and batch processing environments with an emphasis on minimizing computing resources. Relational database management systems appeared on the commercial scene in the 1980's and extended the range of applications amenable to database processing. These applications now include interactive environments as well as transaction and batch. Relational DBMSs emphasize function, ease of data access by users, and improved economics of application development at the expense of computing resources. This paper looks at how enterprise information systems have been affected by the evolution of database technology in the 1980's, emphasizing the role of relational database and forecasting expectations for the 1990's.
