| Summary |
Written for database novices and pros alike, this book shows how to apply the practical techniques associated with data modeling and design to today's newest database architectures. In clear, easy-to-understand language, the book first outlines fundamental database concepts such as logical and physical modeling, normalization, and denormalization, then relates these ideas to advanced platforms including distributed homogeneous database, multi-database, and federated database architectures. Designers and managers who work with client/server architectures and database systems quickly gain a solid grasp of multi-dimensional analysis techniques for on-line analytical processing (OLAP) and object-oriented database architectures |
