Although the use of Data Base Management Systems is rapidly growing, there is little hard data on how these systems are being used. However, this information is critical to defining the functional requirements for a data base processor which can effectively support current applications. This paper reports on a survey conducted to show how Data Base Management Systems are currently being used. It describes the survey taken, the respondees to the questionnaire, and the questionnaire itself—what items were included and the reasons for including them. A summary of the results of this survey and the implications of these results on the different architecture features and alternatives are given. Conclusions are drawn as to the survey/questionnaire approach. Additional survey work that may be needed and new areas for investigation as well as areas in which more depth is required are included.
