Preface 

This book describes how to get an ALLBASE/SQL DBEnvironment up and
running in the shortest possible time.  ALLBASE/SQL is Hewlett-Packard's
relational database management system, which is offered on HP 3000
computers using the MPE XL operating system and on HP 9000 computers
using the HP-UX operating system.

This manual contains basic information about ALLBASE/SQL database design,
creation, and administration.  It is intended for new users of
ALLBASE/SQL. Topics are discussed in separate chapters, as follows:

   *   Chapter 1, "Very Basic...," presents basic ideas, tasks, and
       concepts.
   *   Chapter 2, "Looking at Data," shows how to create an elementary
       database design before you create an ALLBASE/SQL DBEnvironment.
   *   Chapter 3, "Setting Up a Database with ISQL," takes you step by
       step through the process of configuring a DBEnvironment, then
       creating and loading tables.
   *   Chapter 4, "Practice with ALLBASE/SQL Using PartsDBE," details the
       steps for setting up PartsDBE, the ALLBASE/SQL sample
       DBEnvironment, which is used for most of the examples in the
       ALLBASE/SQL documentation.
   *   Chapter 5, "Comparing ALLBASE/SQL with TurboIMAGE," describes
       ALLBASE/SQL from the perspective of the TurboIMAGE user, maps
       ALLBASE/SQL concepts to TurboIMAGE concepts, and describes
       ALLBASE/TurboCONNECT.
   *   Chapter 6, "Glossary," gives basic definitions of terms used in
       ALLBASE/SQL.
