BRIEFING		In traditional file processing, C++ programs are only able to work with one specific database.File processing software such as ORACLE can only access specific databases as well.  However, database management software (DBMS) has the ability to access a diverse array of databases.
DBMS SOFTWARE		An example of DBMS is PERL.  This Practical Extension and Reporting Language was created in 1987 and is still used by people using the UNIX operating system; more recently, those who are seeking to create a Common Graphic Interface (CGI) program.
PURPOSE		This page is designed to help those who already have knowledge of database programming, as well as those who have no prior programming experience, to implement online database systems using PERL in order to move from static user interaction to dynamic user interaction.
