  2. Future DB Apps • CASE • CIM • Images • Spatial • IR

  3. Future Hardware Environment Conclusions • DB systems would continue to consume hardware resources as fast as they occurred • Special purpose DB machines were a dead end

  4. Future Software Environment Conclusions • DB and OS types would continue to do battle • “we will be stuck with current OS interfaces for a long time just as our clients are stuck with SQL” • 4GLs would solve the PL/DBMS impedance mismatch • PROLOG+DBMS will yield nothing of lasting value • Too many groups doing the same thing

  5. Extendible DB Managers • Heated debate on OR vs. Toolkit (no conclusions) • Heated debate on OODBMS • “misguided” • “highly significant” • Guess who was on which side of this debate • Approach was lacking a clear definition of the approach

  6. Active Databases and Rule Systems • Group strongly endorsed DBMS support for triggers, alerters, constraints with high performance • No need for general recursive queries (analogy drawn between its fate and the fate of nth normal form research)

  7. End User Interface • Universal consensus that we needed better user interfaces to data bases • Lamented lack of research • Difficult of publishing papers • Reviewers hostile because they lack RGE • Need to “demo or die” • Lack of toolkits (e.g. X11)

  8. Single Site DB Technology • Hardware trends would require rethinking optimization, execution techniques, run time • CC was dead as a research topic • Strong support for parallel DBMS research • Little support for new access method research (except spatial)

  9. Distributed DBMS • Enough research. Commercialization was underway • Key remaining problems were administration of 50,000 node systems

  10. Miscellaneous Topics • Important to work on “no knobs” physical db design tools including index selection, load balancing of tables across disk arms, … • Some need for better logical design tools • Database support for continuous streams of data • No more data models please • Data translation was a solved research problem • Better support for information exchange
