Abstract
Described is an interactive enquiry system in which a complete data base is contained at a host computer. Local terminal sub-systems are remotely connected to the host with each local sub-system containing a local data base. Each local data base is dynamically maintained so that the most frequently used pages are retained in local storage. If storage space needs to be created, the least frequently used pages are discarded from the local data base.
