A CAD/CAM Database Management System and Its Query Language

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Management and Information Systems ((MIS))

Abstract

In general, functions performed during a design/manufacturing cycle include sales and marketing, product design and analysis, production planning and control, manufacturing, quality control, as well as shipping and inventory control.“) These functions apparently have to share a large amount of data that are collected from many different sources. As a consequence, a centralized database is needed in order to prevent data from being repeatedly or inconsistently stored. However, a database composed of nothing but data files with different formats can never be adequate in supporting all these design/manufacturing functions owing to the expensive efforts required by data preparation and the programming of the interfaces between file formats. Therefore, the prevailing database management techniques, which have been successfully used in business, are possibly of essential importance for such a database to be accurate, useful, and convenient.
