This paper analyzes several statistical computing environments in an effort to show the relationship between formal database management theory and the oomputational environment as an integral part of data analysis.The paper uses Entity-Relationship theory as a data theory to compare the flexibility, representation, and problem-solving difficulties of the analyst in the Minitab, BMDP, SPSS, SAS, OSIRIS, SIR, and the Consistent/System computing environments. It shows that none make full use of database management capabilities; it also shows that even those capabilities are not capable of dealing with all problems confronting the statiatioally oriented data analyst.
