Crego Abstract Somewhere in my past I recall being instructed that there are two taboos that you must never discuss in a business environment, politics and religion. However, I note that when database management systems are discussed, the topic of model invariably is debated in a manner not unlike a heated religious argument. On one hand, you have the "Old Religion", the adherents to the CODASYL Network model, who claim performance and integrity as the tenets of their religion. On the other, there are the relational disciples of E.F. Codd, who, by their adherence to his 12 commandments, claim flexibility and elegance of data structure. The purpose of this brief article is to open up the discussion to readers of this DECUS SIG Newsletter, and to try to bring some sanity and objectivity to the debate. As the first article in a series. some basic evaluation concepts will be proposed. The Concept of Application Suitability In debating the concept of database model, the notion of whether a particular data model is suitable for an application is often lost in the rhetoric. While it is fundamentally true that certain models and hence database management systems can implement virtually any data structure, it is not necessarily the case that they do so in the "best" manner for any application. From a statistical point of view, it has been my observation that less than 5% of data on VAX computers is stored in formal databases, even at those sites where database management is fully understood and facilitated using a DBMS. Although this is not a bullet-proof justification for non-use of a DBMS, it does say that either the database concept is not yet fully accepted by all developers or it is simply not suitable for the vast majority of applications. For the minority of data that resides in formal databases, it will be found that sites using relational products far outnumber those using their network competitors. Does this tell us that the relational model is "better"? For some reason I get the feeling that the notion of "better" is really a religious issue and not tangible or objective enough to constitute a reasonable criteria. In lieu of this, I suggest that the differing models are not "better" or "worse" but rather "more suitable" or "less suitable" for a particular applica­ tion. The key, therefore, is to determine the requirements of the application with no preconceived notion of DBMS model, then to evaluate the various alternatives as to their compliance to the requirements. The Concept of Performance Recently I read an article by Codd which evaluated "Non-Stop SQL", a product which is based in a Tandem

This paper reflects technical and legal research as of June 1997. The Internet is the most well-known and largest network. See Richard Dennis, Guide to Selecting an Internet Provider, 2 ENVTL. L. 571, 572-73 (1996) (defining the Internet as a network that connects networks throughout the world, often de- scribed as "a network of networks"); A. Michael Froomkin, Towards An Internet Jurisprudence(1997) (stating that the Internet does not exist as a place but as an in- terconnection of millions of computers) (unpublished article on file with author). A network is a system consisting of any combination of computers, printers, audio, visual, display devices, or telephones interconnected by telecommunications equipment.

  • VAX VMS at 20
    1977–1997... and beyond Nothing Stops It! Of all the winning attributes of the OpenVMS operating system, perhaps its key success factor is its evolutionary spirit. Some would say OpenVMS was revolutionary. But I would prefer to call it evolutionary because its transition has been peaceful and constructive. Over a 20-year period, OpenVMS has experienced evolution in five arenas. First, it evolved from a system running on some 20 printed circuit boards to a single chip. Second, it evolved from being proprietary to open. Third, it evolved from running on CISC-based VAX to RISC-based Alpha systems. Fourth, VMS evolved from being primarily a technical oper- ating system, to a commercial operat- ing system, to a high availability mission-critical commercial operating system. And fifth, VMS evolved from time-sharing to a workstation environment, to a client/server computing style environment. The hardware has experienced a similar evolution. Just as the 16-bit PDP systems laid the groundwork for the VAX platform, VAX laid the groundwork for Alpha—the industry’s leading 64-bit systems. While the platforms have grown and changed, the success continues. Today, OpenVMS is the most flexible and adaptable operating system on the planet. What start- ed out as the concept of ‘Starlet’ in 1975 is moving into ‘Galaxy’ for the 21st century. And like the universe, there is no end in sight. —Jesse Lipcon Vice President of UNIX and OpenVMS Systems Business Unit TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER I Changing the Face of Computing 4 CHAPTER II Setting the Stage 6 CHAPTER
