Данная книга является введением в технологию объектных баз данных и предназначена для разработчиков программных продуктов, которые знакомы с объектным проектированием и языком C++ и хотят узнать об объектных базах данных. В книге описаны возможности объектного моделирования, заложенные в среде поддержки объектных баз данных, использующих интерфейсы ODMG C++ и OQL (язык объектных запросов). Здесь рассмотрены различные архитектуры, применяемые объектными базами данных, а также уделено внимание сравнению реляционных и объектно-реляционных баз данных с объектными. Для тех, кто уже использует какую-либо из реализаций стандарта ODMG, книга может послужить справочником по интерфейсу ODMG 2.0 C++.

The relational database has been in existence for over 25 years. It has spawned a multi-billion dollar industry, is the most widely used type of database in the world today, and is an essential part of our everyday lives. It is very likely that you are using a relational database every time you purchase goods at a store, make travel plans with your travel agent, check out a book at the library, or make a purchase on the Internet.

This text provides techniques to build better, richer Web applications, including hands-on examples that integrate Flash interfaces with database data.

Database systems and database design technology have undergone significant evolution in recent years. The relational data model and relational database systems dominate business applications; in turn, they are extended by other technologies like data warehousing, OLAP, and data mining. How do you model and design your database application in consideration of new technology or new business needs?
In the extensively revised fourth edition, you'll get clear explanations, lots of terrific examples and an illustrative case, and the really practical advice you have come to count on — with design rules that are applicable to any SQL-based system. But you'll also get plenty to help you grow from a new database designer to an experienced designer developing industrial-sized systems:
* a detailed look at the Unified Modeling Language (UML-2) as well as the entity-relationship (ER) approach for data requirements specification and conceptual modeling — with examples throughout the book in both approaches!
* the details and examples of how to use data modeling concepts in logical database design, and the transformation of the conceptual model to the relational model and to SQL syntax;
* the fundamentals of database normalization through the fifth normal form;
* practical coverage of the major issues in business intelligence — data warehousing, OLAP for decision support systems, and data mining;
* examples for how to use the most popular CASE tools to handle complex data modeling problems.
* Exercises that test understanding of all material, plus solutions for many exercises.

Книга подробно рассказывает о Microsoft's SQL Server Modeling и содержит информацию, необходимую для успешного создания и внедрения моделирования рабочих процессов.

This book assumes no prior knowledge of relational modeling or programming constructs. It’s aimed at anyone who has a need for an easy-to-read, practical guide to relational data modeling. To that end, it has a broad appeal not only for developers and DBAs taking their first steps into database design but also for people such as data architects, information officers, and knowledge managers who simply want a greater understanding of how to analyze their data efficiently. To follow along with this book, there are no specific software needs since it shies away from a specific database platform. Access to a computer with a version of Solitaire, or even a pack of playing cards, may aid your understanding of the Solitaire example, but it isn’t essential.
