Modeling network data structures in relational-like data base management systems

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5290359
This paper describes the implementation of a database within the System 1022 environment that successfully models a network data structure. Issues and problems relative to the representation of ''many-to-many'' relationships among data types in ''relational-like'' structures are discussed along with alternative solutions. Analysis procedures are described which led to the employment of a ''special'' System 1022 file that simulates the role of ''junction'' records in networks. A System 1022 database to assist in the management of CAD/CAM system resources has been developed at Martin Marietta Energy Systems utilizing this concept and is used as a practical example of this approach to data representation.
