SAS/ACCESS Interface to ADABAS Software

ADABAS DBMS

ADABAS is Software AG's database management system (DBMS). ADABAS organizes and accesses data according to relationships among data fields. The relationships among data fields are expressed by ADABAS files, which consist of data fields and logical records.

With the ADABAS DBMS, you can also use the high-level language NATURAL to operate on data that is managed by the DBMS. NATURAL is Software AG's fourth generation application development system that allows you to create, modify, read, and protect data that the DBMS manages. All ADABAS files and data fields referenced in a NATURAL program must be defined to NATURAL through a Data Definition Module (DDM).

ADABAS has single-user and multi-user execution environments, both of which are supported by the SAS/ACCESS interface to ADABAS.
