Description
The textbook is based on the idea that while databases are very practical, their success depends on understanding the important concepts that define them. Most attention is devoted to database design, though implementation and management are also thoroughly covered. This edition updates business vignettes, big data and related NoSQL data models, business intelligence and data analytics, and data models. The chapter-end review questions and problems have also been expanded. The topics include data models, entity relationship modeling, structured query language, database performance tuning and query optimization, and database connectivity and web technologies Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
