Comparative survey of database management systems on microcomputers
Gordon C. Everest, Christopher T. Lawrence · ACM SIGSMALL Newsletter · 1981
This paper presents the results of a survey of Database Management Systems (DBMS) available on microcomputer systems where the total cost of hardware plus software is less than $25,000. Most of the information was obtained from published materials and user manuals for the systems. The survey focuses on functional characteristics and physical requirements and limitations. None of the information is based on actual usage.
