Without getting into the details and complexities of specific commercial products, this book introduces database management techniques that go beyond today's relational database management systems - for instance, distributed, textual, multi-media and object-oriented. It covers distributed database management systems, the risks associated with them, and alternative solutions to the major pitfalls and technical problems; considers three types of textual based systems information retrieval, hoovering and filtering - and describes various approaches to distributed textual database management systems; explores DBMSs that manage a variety of new media types, and the special problems introduced by multimedia; and describes the basic principles of object-oriented data and the types of DBMS that manage them.

From the Publisher
Without getting into the details and complexities of specific commercial products, this book introduces database management techniques that go beyond today's relational database management systems -- e.g., distributed, textual, multimedia, and object-oriented.

Discusses the risks associated with distributed DBMSs, presents alternative solutions to the major technical problems, points out the major pitfalls of distributed DBMSs, and offers suggestions for avoiding them. Considers three types of textual based systems -- information retrieval, hoovering, and filtering -- and describes various approaches to distributed textual database management systems. Explores multimedia DBMSs that manage a variety of new media types (e.g., text, image, audio, and video data types), describes the special problems introduced by multimedia (e.g., large data objects, continuous temporal data objects, and the problems of synchronization multiple streams of temporal data). Describes the basic principles of object-oriented data, and describes the types of DBMS that manage this type of data.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Database Pocket Guide,
This review is from: Database Directions: From Relational to Distributed, Multimedia and Object-Oriented Database Systems (Textbook Binding)
This book should be renamed as Database Pocket Guide.Good for College students ,who just want to refer to refresh themselves.Good for Database Users whojust want to know little details about Distributed Databases.But for people who are really serious about Distributed Databases, this is not the right choice. A Good one could be "Managing Distributed Databases: Building Bridges between Database Islands"
