ABSTRACT
This paper outlines the design, implementation, and capabilities of a menu drive transportable relational database package. After identifying the goals of the system, a top down strategy, via data flow diagrams was used to outline the physical design of the package. During the physical design phase, the detail functions and design procedures of the DOL, DML, System support, and control routines were identified. The package is written in ANSI FORTRAN 66 and implemented on a DECSYSTEM-10. Since ANSI FORTRAN 66 compilers are available for the majority of mini and micro computer systems, this system can be implemented on different systems with a minimum of conversion efforts.

A cornerstone of modern database systems is physical data independence, i.e., the separation of a type and its associated operations from its physical representation in memory and on storage media. Users manipulate and query data at the logical level; ...
