  Database - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Database as a single word became common in Europe in the early 1970s and by the end of the decade it was being used in major American newspapers.
While CODASYL systems and IMS were conceived as practical engineering solutions taking account of the technology as it existed at the time, the relational model took a much more theoretical perspective, arguing (correctly) that hardware and software technology would catch up in time.
These databases attempt to bring the database world and the application programming world closer together, in particular by ensuring that the database uses the same type system as the application program.

 Database management system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As computers grew in capability this tradeoff became increasingly unnecessary and a number of general-purpose database systems emerged; by the mid-1960s there were a number of such systems in commercial use.
When the database was first opened, the program was handed back a link to the first record in the database, which also contained pointers to other pieces of data.
Database servers are specially designed computers that hold the actual databases and run only the DBMS and related software.

 Computer systems analysts, database administrators, and computer scientists
Systems analysts begin an assignment by discussing the systems problem with managers and users to determine its exact nature.
Many systems analysts are involved with “networking,” connecting all the computers internally—in an individual office, department, or establishment—or externally, because many organizations now rely on e-mail or the Internet.
In 2002, median annual earnings of database administrators employed in computer system design and related services were $66,650, and, for those in management of companies and enterprises, earnings were $59,620.

The separation of the database from the user interface through intermediary Application Objects allows the data to be distributed appropriately across database servers and still have the user interface display data cohesively for the end-user.

 Real-Time Database Systems at U. Virginia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Next generation real-time information systems need to be designed and developed to address the challenge of simultaneously satisfying data integrity and timing requirements.
The latter arises from the need to preserve the temporal validity of data that reflect the state of the environment being monitored and controlled by the system, and to meet the response time requirements coming from applications and physical components of the system.
While we are primarily interested in real-time database systems, we have also explored real-time processor scheduling, multi-media synchronization, and information security.
