Synopsis
An authorised guide to fully exploiting the object oriented capabilities of Oracle8 as well as covering the areas of database design system requirements such as changes to records, data entry errors and basic transaction history.
From the Author
Unique blend of logical + physical database design conceptsIn writing this book, we had two goals. First, we tried to cover a broad range of data modeling topics from the basics to advanced modeling techniques including recursion and generic modeling. But, this is not just a theoretical book. Equal attention is given to database design issues. We have included the topics of table design, naming conventions, and datatype domains. In addition, the book discusses Oracle8 relational and object-relational design in detail, including sample relational as well as object-relational SQL code for every concept presented.
This combination of logical and physical database design topics is what makes the book unique. In our company, Dulcian, Inc., we have designed and implemented many database systems. In Oracle8 Design Using UML Object Modeling, we have distilled our theoretical philosophy of database design as well as including practical information about how we implement these designs in real world systems.
Over the last few years, there has been a steady movement towards generic, object-oriented techniques in database design. Simultaneously, the Unified Modeling Language (UML) has emerged as the standard for object-oriented analysis and design. Therefore all modeling examples are shown using both traditional Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERDs) and UML.
