This booklet introduces you to the subject of database management and the use of the microcomputer data management program dBASE. Because of the depth and scope of the subject matter (database management normally is studied in the junior or senior year of a four-year college program), this booklet discusses only the fundamental database concepts. The bulk of the coverage is devoted to using the dBASE programs for file data manipulation.
