3.0 out of 5 stars
Collection of Articles (Mis-titled),
By
This review is from: High-Performance Web Databases: Design, Development, and Deployment (Hardcover)
The editor chose a catchy title but the book is really a collection of articles - probably mostly submissions by students interested in being published in various magazines. Don't let the copyright date fool you - the article that was dated was from 1998 though others are just dated with the books copyright date. If you are looking for technical depth, algorithmic complexity, or practical knowledge then this book is not a good choice. If you want discussion of database topics that most any good engineer already knows plus the spice of a few articles with somewhat interesting subjects such as an algorithm for when to denormalize, then this makes nice, easy reading. The title suggests so much more but the book leaves one wondering if the consulting firm practices what was authored - just a little more technical knowledge than a new grad and then OEM a solution from IBM. I can say that I have not read the whole book but what I read almost totally ignores Oracle, SQL Server, Teradata, and others and gives a terse mention to DB2. How can you write an article specifically on Data Mining and not mention Oracle and Teradata. Whew!
