Abstract
What function does a general-purpose interactive data manipulation package need to provide, and how complex does it have to be? The development of data base software has given no definitive answer to this question. The commercial packages developed during the first two decades of data base technology kept growing in size and typically require medium sized or large computers, but in recent years the proliferation of personal computers has spawned a generation of data manipulation packages that fit into half a Megabyte of memory and operate off floppy disks.
