A Data Base Management System Design Philosophy
Summary: Separation of structure representations from data as a DBMS design principle; per-user, interpreted, user-oriented DB machines are driven by structure representations as an instruction stream. Proposes a concrete user DBMS model, outlines a potential implementation, and notes advantages. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
