Abstract

PAYOFF IDEA. Different styles of user interfaces can dramatically affect data base capabilities. In an environment comprising many different data bases, the goal is to select one data base management system (DBMS) that provides the best selection of design tools, minimizes development times, and enforces relational rules. This article presents a case study performed at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, in which a test data base was developed for implementation with three DBMSs, each with a distinctly different user and programmer interface.
