Database Usability
Summary: Usability takes center stage in DBMS, advocating higher UI abstraction to cut people costs despite cheaper hardware. It critiques current relational usability versus older systems and outlines four growth axes: better interfaces, richer semantics, support for new data types (text, arrays, noncoded data) with integrated stats/graphics/word-processing, and modern interfaces (voice, 3D, visuals).
