Subject: benchmark and glossary
The tsql directory in the anonymous FTP area of cs.arizona.edu now
contains the following files.

Also of potential interest are the bibliographic files in the bib
directory in the FTP area.
database.bib bibliographic file containing entries relevant to
database management systems, maintained by
Richard Snodgrass, University of Arizona.
time.bib bibliographic file containing entries relevant
to temporal DBMS's, currently maintained by
Nick Kline, University of Arizona.
bib-cite.tar.Z bibliographic database management software
spacetime.bib bibliographic file containing entries that
simultaneously address space and time, currently
maintained by Khaled Al-Tara, Louisiana State
University.
spacetime.ps a postscript file of a bibliography that appeared in
the March, 1993 issue of SIGMOD Record.
incomplete.bib incomplete information in databases bibliography,
currently maintained by Curtis Dyreson,
University of Arizona.
incomplete.ps (ps version of incomplete database documente)
incomplete.tex (has postscript drawings, so is incomplete as is)
The bibliographic files are in "bib" format, which can be used with
the Scribe formatting program, or indirectly with *roff, tex, and
latex via the cite filter. "bib" format files may also be used
directly with bibtex in the LaTeX system. "refer" format files may
converted to "bib" format through refconvert. Finally, the
bibliographic files may be managed, search, and modified through
bibdb. Source and man pages for these programs, as well as some 22
bibliographic databases (including database.bib and time.bib)
containing over 6000 entries, are located in bib-cite.tar.Z, which
should be transferred in binary mode with ftp and subsequently
uncompressed and untared, using the Unix commands
uncompress bib-cite.tar.Z | tar xf -
This software is entirely in the public domain. We make it available
as is, and do not provide support. See the top-level ReadMe file for
authorship information and conditions on its use.
