Whoever orders books on the Internet, withdraws money from a cash machine or uses a navigation system to arrive at a destination is (usually without realizing it) using companies’ very large databases. These are accessed and managed by computer programs which - depending on the type of application or search request – work quite differently. Computer scientists have recently developed a concept for a database system that automatically adapts to different requirements and thus combines features of previously different systems.
