Abstract

One of the goals in the design of database machines of the future is their generality. In addition to being capable of carrying out the common database management functions with high reliability and performance, some of these machines are intended to support more than one data model. A specific database machine, known as the DBC, is intended to support several existing data models. Although the DBC supports many data models, we single out the relational data model for this discussion. In particular, we have tried to concentrate mainly on the subject of database representation and query translation of System R-like database management systems. Some estimates of the storage requirements and performance gains are given in this paper. However, due to limited space, the detailed analysis is shown elsewhere in [22].
