Statistical database(SDB) are large database primarily collected for purpose of statistical analysis. Commerical database management systems have not been widely used for SDB because of the efficiency problem of storage and access of those systems for SDB. In this paper, we propose SDB management method to use a front-end system to a Relatianal Datebase Management System (RDBMS). We do the design of SM-F system (Stasticical database Management as Front-end system) as a front-end system to a RDBMS. In the system, we use GROS model specially proposed for SDB, and store and manage summary database and meta database to support statistical analysis and to provide users with statistical summary information.
