Rule-based computational DBMSs
Ronald C. Linton · 1991
Tight coupling of business information systems and the streamlining of business organizational structures are trends that demand the availability of real-time corporate information for decision making by Chief Executive Officers.In this paper, the typical Executive Information System model is shown to fail to support real-time reporting because of the batch methods commonly used to extract key business transactions.In addition, a particular database management system (DBMS) architecture is proposed that allows the database administrator to establish rules which force dynamic DBMS update of key real-time corporate values as business transactions are added to the database.Such real-time updates reduce executive information presentation to simple queries of the database.
