Translating with DrWatson… this can take a few seconds the first time.
This is a genuine, complex translation. DrWatson protects commands, error codes, and log output while naturally translating the surrounding text. It’s translated once and saved.
I have a question regarding what commercial DBMSs are used by the
major library automation vendors. Some of my questions are:
a) Who are the major vendors for library automation ?
b) Do those vendors build their library schemas on top of some commercial
DBMS like DB2, RDB, ORACLE, SYBASE, INFORMIX, INGRES or do they use their
own DBMS (relational I presume)?
c) What are the advantages and disadvantages of not using a standard
DBMS for a particular application? Are there some database applications
where they do not use a standard DBMS? I heard NCR supplies a database
application for Grocery Stores which does not use a standard DBMS.
Thanks a lot.
