References

The things I wrote about here are old textbook stuff and work experience for me, so I hope further sources will not be needed. But if people think it is needed, and are able to provide such references - fine! Olav Næss 02:51, 8 April 2007 (CDT)

I would think we'd need to find at least several valid sources, to at least help someone e.g writing a paper on databases. Or possibly a "See Also" or "External Links" section --Eric M Gearhart 04:30, 8 April 2007 (CDT)

flat file or text file

the earliest flat files that were used as files to store information, used and created for instance by cobol where just plain text strings. The original name reflected that difference as these were NO database. I wonder what made someone think the earlier mentioned flat file (text) databases has got anything to do with relations as they stem from the 50's and early 60's. These files were indicated, not two dimensional arrays of information with their own local formatting. Flat file text database files got their meaning by the program that created and used them. Something totally different from the files here. Robert Tito |  Talk  18:36, 20 June 2007 (CDT)
