Product Description

Product Description

Designing XML Databases is the most comprehensive guide to XML-based database design in Web and enterprise environments. If you already own an XML-enabled database system, you'll discover powerful design techniques for making the most of it. If you're working with a conventional RDBMS, you'll learn better ways to utilize it in XML application development. And if you're constructing an XML-based database from scratch, you'll master a complete, schema-based conceptual framework, using a start-to-finish case study. Designing XML Databases introduces state-of-the-art XML-based data modeling techniques, demonstrating how to integrate database design, DBMS system design, and XML application design. Discover practical approaches to storing XML data in object-oriented, relational, and flat-file databases; learn how to build effective XML database queries; and how to construct effective XSL and Java user interfaces to Web XML databases. You'll find comprehensive coverage of XML database architecture and native indexing; techniques for integrating XML databases into broader enterprise systems; and specific solutions for environments with custom requirements, such as scientific research. For all database professionals, XML application developers, system architects, and technical leaders involved in enterprise/Web development.

2.0 out of 5 stars Interesting subject, boring book, 15 Jan 2004
I couldn't agree more : It reads more like a thesis than a book.
The introductory material is really not necessary to the kind of audience this book aims at.

The (resource) references are also a bad idea; XML evolution renders them immediately obsolete.

A lot of ideas, true, but when it comes to examples it's all chaos. I found it impossible to read through the endless pages full of java code with no comments and/or explanatory text whatsoever.

in other words, it shouldn't be sold as a book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Summary Review, 4 Dec 2002
By Graeme Barnett (Edinburgh, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
The book is very detailed and contains a lot of information.
It reads like a PHD thesis - not very inspiring. (Minus 1 star)

He gives an introduction of database systems and XML but I imagine that neither are sufficient to fully grasp what he goes on to say. ( Minus 1 star)

The content is excellent and he uses very good examples and is methodical about the way it is presented.

I was hoping to find out how to implement XML into an existing database. Mission accomplished, although not much in the way of vendor specific information here.

I just found it rather excessive in things I didn't want to know about and slight in the information that I required - but hey, it's called designing databases, so guess what...lots of design methodologies etc.
