Summary, etc. The advent of database management systems for personal computers in the 1980s moved database man-agement beyond the realm of database professionals and into the hands of everyday users from all seg-ments of the population. A field once limited to highly trained users of large, mainframe, database-oriented application systems became an essential productivity tool for such diverse groups as home computer own-ers, owners of small businesses, and end-users in large organizations. The major PC-based database software systems have continually added features to increase their ease of use, allowing users to enjoy the benefits of database tools relatively quickly. Truly effective use of such a product, however, requires more than just knowledge of the product itself, although that knowledge is obviously important. It requires a general knowledge of the database environment, including topics such as database design, database administration, and application development using these systems. While the depth of understanding required is certainly not as great for the majority of users as it is for the data processing professional, a lack of any understanding in these areas precludes effective use of the product in all but the most limited applications.
