2718	 A Preliminary System for the Design of DBTG Data Structures	 The functional approach to database design is introduced. In this approach the goal of design is to derive a data structure which is capable of supporting a set of anticipated queries rather than a structure which models the business in some other way. An operational computer program is described which utilizers the functional approach to design data structures conforming to the Data Base Task Group specifications. The automatic programming technology utilized by this program although typically used to generate procedure is here used to generate declaratives. network model of databases Data Base Task Group database design data structure automatic programming translation nonprocedural languages
