Abstract :
Developing any large scale computer system requires the support of a whole range of automated software tools. It is useful to distinguish two different kinds of tools: technical tools, to deal with the technical aspects of system development and management tools, as to have managerial control over the system´s development. To construct an effective, supportive development environment for system engineering, it is essential that both the technical that both the technical and managerial tools are integrated within a consistent, unifying framework. The author considers system development as a database application, approaches to providing software development databases, tool interfaces, object-oriented database and some key issues in the field of database support for system engineering
