Database Development For Dummies

The key to successful database development is accurate and appropriate modeling of the real-world system that will be placed on the computer. Database Development For Dummies describes in detail two popular modeling methods, the entity-relationship model and the semantic object model. Once the model of a system is complete, the book describes how to convert the model into a database design, then implement the model on the target platform.

Database on intranets and the Internet is covered, as are the issues that arise when multiple users simultaneously access the same database. A chapter is devoted to the emerging enterprise database market, including data warehousing. Another chapter covers the new object-relational technology.
