Abstract
Data base management systems are important tools that can be used by application developers to build high quality application systems. The degree of productivity afforded by a particular DBMS depends on the extent to which it is able to satisfy a developer’s needs. This article identifies the major data handling needs of an application developer as implied by the needs of an application system’s end user. The result is a set of criteria for guiding the selection of a DBMS. Each criterion is examined with respect to existing data base management facilities.
