Database Modeling and Design: Logical Design, 4th Edition (Data Management Systems)

Buy
Database systems and database design technology have undergone significant evolution in recent years. The relational data model and relational database systems dominate business applications; in turn, they are extended by other technologies like data warehousing, OLAP, and data mining. How do you model and design your database application in consideration of new technology or new business needs?

In the extensively revised fourth edition, youll get clear explanations, lots of terrific examples and an illustrative case, and the really practical advice you have come to count on--with design rules that are applicable to any SQL-based system. But youll also get plenty to help you grow from a new database designer to an experienced designer developing industrial-sized systems:

+ a detailed look at the Unified Modeling Language (UML-2) as well as the entity-relationship (ER) approach for data requirements specification and conceptual modeling--with examples throughout the book in both approaches!
+ the details and examples of how to use data modeling concepts in logical database design, and the transformation of the conceptual model to the relational model and to SQL syntax;
+ the fundamentals of database normalization through the fifth normal form;
+ practical coverage of the major issues in business intelligence--data warehousing, OLAP for decision support systems, and data mining;
+ examples for how to use the most popular CASE tools to handle complex data modeling problems.
+ Exercises that test understanding of all material, plus solutions for many exercises.

The Science of Computer Benchmarking (Software, Environments, Tools)
The Science of Computer Benchmarking (Software, Environments, Tools)

This book provides an introduction to computer benchmarking. Hockney includes material concerned with the definition of performance parameters and metrics and defines a set of suitable metrics with which to measure performance and units with which to express them. He also presents new ideas resulting from the application of dimensional...

Accelerated C++: Practical Programming by Example
Accelerated C++: Practical Programming by Example

We assume that you want to learn quickly how to write useful C++ programs. Therefore, we start by explaining the most useful parts of C++. This strategy may seem obvious when we put it that way, but it has the radical implication that we do not begin by teaching C, even though C++ builds on C. Instead, we use high-level data structures from...

Axioms For Lattices And Boolean Algebras
Axioms For Lattices And Boolean Algebras

The importance of equational axioms emerged initially with the axiomatic approach to Boolean algebras, groups, and rings, and later in lattices. This unique research monograph systematically presents minimal equational axiom-systems for various lattice-related algebras, regardless of whether they are given in terms of join and meet or other...
