	<var class="product">Model 204</var> is a database management system (DBMS) that provides facilities for the creation, control, query and maintenance of database files. Access to the data is provided by an internal language known as '''<var class="product"><b>SOUL</b></var>''' (formerly '''<var class="product"><b>User Language</b></var>'''), by a variety of Host Language Interfaces (for example, you can embed queries to <var class="product">Model 204</var> data in COBOL, Assembler, Fortran, etc.), and via SQL using Horizon and CRAM interfaces.		<var class="product">Model 204</var> is a database management system (DBMS) that provides facilities for the creation, control, query and maintenance of database files.

 While a <var class="product">Model 204</var> database can be fully ''Normalized'', this too is not enforced by the structure of <var class="product">Model 204</var>.  In fact, <var class="product">Model 204</var> records can be completely free-form, with varying lengths of records and varying numbers of occurrences of same-named fields.  Because records, and the fields that are populated on records, do not require or use any preallocated space, <var class="product">Model 204</var> lends itself to applications where record sizes vary greatly and where the largest records or greatest number of occurrences of any field or set of fields, is unpredictable.  Family records, for instance, are well-suited to Model 204 databases, as the average family might have two or three children, but many will have none, and a few will have dozens, or even hundreds.  In a <var class="product">Model 204</var> file, the smallest "Family" record takes up only the space that it requires, and lives happily alongside other "Family" records
 that are many times larger.
