A Practical Design Methodology for the Implementation of IMS Databases, Using the Entity-Relationship Model
Summary: Practical design methodology for IMS databases from an Extended ER model, grounded in data-structure principles. Systematically selects IMS options (physical schemas, access methods, indices, pointers, twin chains) illustrated by a production case. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
