Co-existing data base management systems (CODASYL DBTG and System R approaches)
The paper addresses the problem of communication between co-existing DBMSs. Specifically, two data models--that is, the Network and Relationals models--have been analyzed using their respective implementations CODASYL DBTG and System R.
Feasibility of communication is discussed and mapping mechanisms are suggested between the two DBMSs at the following levels:
- Data Model
- Data Definition Language
- Data Manipulation Language
- Access method
Restrictions arising from the individual data models in the mapping process have been outlined, in particular the levels at which communication takes place between the two systems: from Network to Relational at the query language level and the converse at the access method level
