Database systems as controllers, managers and linguists a study of the relationship of database and operating systems

The study of the relationship of the database system and the operating system can best be characterized in terms of their issues on resource management and language support. In this paper the similarities and differences of these two types of systems (i.e., database systems and operating systems) on resource management and language support are articulated. It is hoped that this articulation can point out the new and future database-system research and development areas.
