Product Description

Product Description

The success of many organizations depends upon information stored in database management systems. Given the importance of such systems, it is essential that managers with responsibility for IT understand the underlying database management system (DBMS) principles, are aware of the strengths and weaknesses of existing database technology and of likely future developments in the field. This book explores these areas. Students using this book will already have some knowledge of databases and will have completed an introductory course in database systems. This book supports a course aimed at deepening the students' understanding of the technologies covered earlier by introducing other conceptual models which have been proposed to tackle deficiencies of the relational model. It also addresses advanced issues faced in database application development and it aims to familiarise students with the current technological developments and trends. The book covers the following areas: Transaction management Concurrency control Recovery Query Optimisation Distributed Management Systems Object-oriented data models Object-relational database management systems Data warehousing

Very Helpful 1 Dec 2011
By Kim
I use this for my BSc course and have found it very helpful - it is clear and concise without confusing the learning student with overly technical terms. Many times I have been able to use this book to answer questions I could not find an answer for elsewhere, it's great.

a good overall book 3 May 2011
I haven't read many books on this subject, and the author, is my Tutor.
so obviously I would say good about this book... NO!
this book covers a customised set of chapters that go in a proceeding wavelength
according to the requirement of understanding Databases/RA/SQL, from a beginner level to the third year of the degree.
this is one book which I am using all three years of my degree, and thereafter.
Overall, very easy to understand and implement.
