An extrapolation of user and hardware cost trends indicate that future systems should provide more complete functionality, simplicity of use, and reliability by increasing the amount of hardware present in the system. For data base systems, this can be done by providing very high level data languages and by implementing them directly in hardware. These goals are realized with a simple hardware arrangement called INDY, which uses inexpensive memory technologies (such as charge coupled devices, magnetic bubbles, or discs). This paper first discusses the data definition and editing requirements of data languages. Then the implementation of these requirements on the INDY backend kernel is described. Finally, a comparison is made of the various memory technologies for suitability to INDY.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
