This work outlines fundamental concepts such as logical and physical modelling, normalization and denormalization, and relates these ideas to advanced platforms including distributed homogenous database, multidatabase and federated database architectures. It aims to give the reader a solid grasp of multi-dimensional analysis techniques for on-line analytical processing (OLAP) and object-oriented database architectures, and learn how basic modelling and design techniques are used every day in real-world products such as CASE tools, relational database management systems, and object database management systems.

2.0 out of 5 stars
confusing and contrived,
By A Customer
This review is from: Data Modeling and Design for Today's Architectures (Artech House Computer Science Library) (Hardcover)
This is the worst DB design book that I've come across. The first few chapters is supposed to 'guide' you through the db design process, but the example is too lengthy and not to the point. The concepts that is to be explained is illustrated by contrived(using the author's own word) examples. Explanation is confusing. Luckily, I got this from a library and nothing to lose

This review is from: Data Modeling and Design for Today's Architectures (Artech House Computer Science Library) (Hardcover)
I'm glad I took a chance on this book...it was well worth it! The author's clear, concise writing style is accessible to novices, yet provides a knowledgeable overview of data modeling. The book navigates you through the finer points of the process, deconstructing the design steps in easy-to-understand language. Highly recommended!
