Book Description
Written for database novices and pros alike, this book first outlines fundamental database concepts, explaining the practical techniques of data modeling and design, and then relates these ideas to advanced platforms, showing how to apply the concepts successfully to today's database architectures.

The author provides a solid overview of techniques for on-line analytical processing (OLAP) and object oriented database architectures. He explains how basic modeling and design techniques are used every day in real-world products such as CASE tools, relational database management systems, and object database management systems, while reviewing specific models such as the ANSI/SPARC database model. This book is a valuable tool for anyone working with client/server architectures and database systems to learn how to gather the information necessary to build business and process models, to master the fundamentals of Structured Query Language (SQL), to write database applications, and much more. The book includes bound-in software containing sample database applications which illustrate key topics covered in the book.
