This proposal describes development and research to bring database management system technology into the realm of the batch computing system known as Condor. The work is described in three phases: the first phase instruments Condor with a data model for underlying support of Condor's operational data, with a web-based query tool for administrators of Condor pools; the second phase is essentially a re-factoring of Condor code (in particular the Condor job scheduler/manager) to make it DBMS-reliant in terms of offloading certain functions; and the third phase attempts to lower the barrier to DBMS use for scientists by moving DBMS functionality and capability to the point of application execution.
