现在说数据库进入家庭,似乎有些过早,甚至可以说是一个美丽的幻想。说家用电脑通过 Internet 调用网上数据库,使数据库的各种信息进入家庭又好像是眼前的事儿。是幻想也罢,现实也好,对数据库进人家庭的种种做法进一步的讨论,就明了了。一、数据库“下凡”史计算机、计算机网络是数据库应用的载体。早期的数据库应用和计算机应用一样,大部分存在于科学、技术界。它的应用并不普及,所贮存的信息绝大部分是真正的数据。随着计算机应用的普及,随着计算机应用向商用化发展,数据库也开始商用化。贮存的信息不仅仅是数据,还有大量的文件、表格等等。支持这套系统分类、调用、开发工具、复制等等功能,使数据库本身变得庞大、复杂起来。与此同时,数据库从计算机大公司横向体制中独立出来,出现了 ORACLe、SYBASE、Informix 这样的典型 Now that the database into the family, it seems a bit too early, or even a beautiful illusion. That home computer calls the Internet through the Internet database, the database of various information into the family seems to be the immediate thing. Is fantasy worth mentioning, the reality is good, further discussion of the database into the family practices, it is clear. First, the database “descend ” history computer, computer network is the database application of the carrier. Early database applications and computer applications, mostly in science and technology. Its use is not universal, most of the information stored is real data. With the popularity of computer applications, with the commercial application of computer applications, the database has begun to commercialize. The stored information is not only data, but also a large number of documents, forms and so on. Support the system classification, call, development tools, copy and so on, so that the database itself becomes huge and complex. At the same time, the database from the horizontal system of large companies in the computer independent, there has been a typical ORACLe, SYBASE, Informix
