llowed by machine
code, using a piece of software for this purpose. This all sounds rather
similar to Mark's situation. The reason however is less obvious. On the H16
series we did not have a multi-access O/S and the process of assembling and
linking a large system involved many steps. Often the modifications required
were trivial. It was generally easier to reload a memory dump from off paper
tape and then apply the patches.

avalanche of bookings out for modification may take them by surprise,
especially the number of requests from the North America and Australia.
Here in New Zealand, they gave up attempting to use correct English years ago.

Hi Lawrence,
I appreciate your remarks. However database engines cache their table/views to
support sequential accessing within a set. With a good accessing scheme and
with enough cache memory you will have all your small tables in memory.
So the simplest thing is let the DBMS do its thing. Th
