Abstract
In this paper we shall review some major recent developments in database management methodology which have significant implication for information systems. Chief among these is the general acceptance of the necessity for a user-interface which is at once simple, implementation independent, and powerful. These objectives are admirably fulfilled by the relational data model and the calculus-like query language which were proposed by Codd.
