AUSTRALIA Coordination International Pick Users Association (NSW) International Pick Users Association (VIC) RMIT University Department of Business Computing ----------------------------------------------------------------- THE THEME ==> Fixed two dimensional relational databases have been entrenched in I.T. for many years. Multi dimensional "relational" databases have likewise been around and in use for almost 30 years. This conference and exhibition will focus on these highly usable and powerful databases showcasing and discussing the three main players in this arena - Universe from Vmark, Unidata, and PICK from Pick Systems. This could be an interesting opportunity to actually see a database that quite comfortably does not conform to Codd's First Normal Form, and yet is able to deliver extraordinary price/performance against the more mainstream fixed two dimensional databases. ------------------------------------------------------------------- CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION DETAILS ==> October 4 12.00pm - 5.30pm Registration 6.00pm - Welcome Cocktail Party Sponsored by Pick Systems Inc.
