Implementing multiuser MUMPS database systems on microcomputers presents challenges. This paper offers practical solutions based on real-world experience with a large database system supporting multiple users.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Database Systems
  • Software Engineering

Background:

  • Multiuser MUMPS (Massachusetts General Hospital Utility Multi-Programming System) database systems face implementation hurdles on microcomputers.
  • Previous systems often lacked efficient multiuser capabilities on limited hardware.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and address the key problems in deploying multiuser MUMPS database systems on microcomputers.
  • To present practical, tested solutions for enhancing multiuser MUMPS performance and stability on microcomputers.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of implementation challenges for multiuser MUMPS on microcomputers.
  • Case study of the PTIN/PTQ/MEDAR database system on an IBM AT.
  • Development and testing of practical solutions for multiuser access.
