Title: Application of a data-base system for inventory management of classified material. Master's thesis

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5495646

The purpose of this study was to develop a data-base system model suitable for implementation onboard Naval ships, and to aid in the inventory management of classified material in this environment. The developed system must be considered a prototype model which may need further modification and extension in order to fit a specific user's need. Although the system must be considered a prototype in its present form, the application program will perform all the basic jobs of the sub-custodian with regard to inventory management. Since dBase III PLUS was used in the application program of this thesis, a relational data base must be used. A brief discussion of relational database model was reviewed in Chapter II, in order to give the user basic knowledge of the model. The system is menu-driven. Not only easy to use but also easy to develop a database modify, since both the user and the programmer are directed to the desired point through the sequence of menus and sub-menus. Finally, it is up to the security manager and secret custodian to monitor the effectiveness of this application program during the initial implementation stage and throughout its life cycle.
