learning more about the business ramifications of the data that is being
managed. I guess that high-pitched television sign-off had interrupted
my wonderful dream. Well, when I look at the industry I see data growing

managed. DBMSs also are generally responsible for data integrity, data
access control, and automated rollback, restart and recovery.
Let's face it, the vast majority of companies live in the state of data
anarchy. And this means better capture, storage, and management of
metadata.
Is it an age, a dollar amount, an IQ, a shoe size, or something else
entirely?
They are modeled in bills of material, managed by product managers and
sold by sales teams.
