Abstract
Data base management systems (DBMS) are designed to represent and manipulate objects or events of the real world, as well as associations between these entities. The major objective of a data base system is to provide an enterprise with a facility for the centralized control of its operational data in order to reduce the amount of redundancy in the stored data, avoid inconsistency in the stored data, share the stored data among users, enforce standards, apply security restrictions, and maintain data integrity.
This research was supported in part by grants from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.
