- Is there a techniques that is used by Systems Analysts that could help
- me decided on the best searching procedure for a personal database
- system that I am developing? I am cr eating a database system to
- reference varous newspaper, magazine, and trade journal articles, and
- I am undecided between two methods. BTW, I am using DataEase 4.2 for
- this project.
-
- The first method is to use Keywords to reference the articles. My
- definition of a keyword is a very short (one or two word description)
- of something, or the name of the item (ie. company name, product name,
- etc).
-
- The otehr method is more complicated but would require abstracts
- (ranging from one or two lines for newspapers and magazines to 500
- words for trade journals) that would be searched. The mechanics of
- the searching procedure has not yet been decided upon.
-
- Any assistance would be appreciated.
