Datenbank-Pascal an extendable database management system for personal computer networks
Jakob Karszt, George Lausen, Wolffried Stucky · 1983
Datenbank-Pascal is a database management system (dbms) for personal computers which supports a three level architecture. On different levels of extension it is running on different scaled personal computers (8/16/32 bit). The dbms programming interface is integrated into the Pascal programming language. A multi-user dbms environment can be achieved by connecting several personal computers to a disk-system which contains the shared database. First, the architecture of the dbms is described. Then, the data models on the conceptual and external level and the concepts for the Pascal language integration are explained. Finally, the paper contains a high-level description of the transaction management in the disk-based personal computer network.
