Everything you need to create, adapt, fine-tune, and manage first-rate distributed databases 
End-users demand simultaneous access to numerous databases— all day, every day, and in every application. Today's IT managers are expected to make a diverse hodgepodge of databases, hardware, and applications behave as if it were a single, integrated system— to build bridges between islands of information. This handbook provides solutions to every conceivable problem associated with the management of distributed database systems, including those in client/server environments. Distributed database expert Donald K. Burleson covers both the technical and human factors that managers must consider to successfully create and maintain a distributed database environment, including: <ul>
<li>Client/server issues</li> <li>Object technology</li> <li>Distributed system design</li> <li>Database access control and connectivity</li> <li>Performance and tuning</li> <li>Security</li> <li>Backup and recovery</li> <li>Trends for distributed databases</li> </ul>

Until now, most books on object-oriented subjects were long on theory and short on application. Of course this, in large part, is due to the fact that object-oriented design is still a relatively new and emerging technology, and many of those involved with it are concerned with establishing the parameters for its use. Nevertheless, exciting new object-oriented applications and techniques are being developed every day, applications that would readily be adapted by professionals in their own systems, if only they knew how. 
Designed for use with a capital "U," this book offers a wealth of proven programming strategies and constructs that enable "legacy" (already-exisiting) databases to function within the scope of an object-technology application. Practical Application of Object-Oriented Techniques to Relational Databases begins with concise coverage of the history of databases and the role of object-oriented databases in today's computer-based information support systems. Next, it provides you with an excellent overview of commercial products on the market and explains how and where they are being used within mainstream data processing. Donald K. Burleson, has had more than fourteen years experience as a programmer/analyst, database architect, and database administrator. As a consequence, he brings to this book a wealth of insights, tips, and techniques that help steer you safely through the often labyrinthine world of object-oriented databases. He offers rigorous, step-by-step guidelines on database analysis and design, supported by dozens of real-life examples of object techniques as they have been applied to a number of relational databases, including dBase, DB2, ORACLE, and IDMS. A clearly-written, nuts-and-bolts guide to object-oriented database management for administrators, analysts and database designers, Practical Application of Object-Oriented Techniques to Relational Databases also makes an excellent text for advanced-level database design students. Shows systems professionals how to apply object-oriented techniques to relational databases—immediately! This very practical guide was designed for use with a capital "U." It offers systems professionals a wealth of proven programming strategies and constructs that enable legacy databases—databases already in existence—to function within the scope of an object-technology application. <ul>

The Object Management Group is a nonprofit international corporation dedicated to establishing industry guidelines and object management specification to provide a common framework for distributed application development. Founded in 1989, OMG membership includes over 350 information system vendors, software developers, and users. OMG's first specification, The Common Object Request Broker, is widely regarded as the industry standard for distributed application development. When a Wiley-QED book carries the OMG logo, it means that the book meets OMG requirements for object technology, the de facto industry standard.

Databases and database system design are in the midst of a major transition to object-oriented databases. Moving from relational database architecture to an object-oriented technology is the next logical step in database design.With the properties of encapsulation, abstraction, and polymorphism, object technology systems are moving toward a unified data model that reflects the real world far more effectively than previous modeling techniques. Object-oriented development emphasizes the benefits of modular and reusable computer code as well as the benefits of modeling real-world objects. A properly designed object-oriented model also promises to be maintenance-free - all changes to data attributes and behaviors become a database task, not a programming task. Furthermore, object-oriented databases will store data, the relationships between data, and the behavior of data. Once data behaviors are added into a database management system, these "intelligent" databases will dramatically change the development of database systems.Inside the Database Object Model shows how objects are added to commerical database systems, outlining why object-oriented development is best suited for dynamic, interactive environments. The book reflects the revolutionary change in database architecture, providing plenty of usable code and other illustrative material. The book explores how object technology is being incorporated into database management systems.Although virtually every major database vendor adds objects to their database engines, their approaches vastly differ. Inside the Database Object Model:Explores the history and architecture of database system and the evolution of object technologyExamines the differences between relational database approach and the approach to object technologyDescribes how major vendors approach basic object constructs, including encapsulation, abstract data types, polymorphisms, and aggregate objectsDescribes how inheritance can be used with database objectsOutlines how to couple data with behavior using modelsDemonstrates how C++ applications store data in a relational databaseIdentifies how Oracle, the world's leading relational database, extends SQL to exist with objectsEnables readers to design and implement real-world objects using object/relational technologyMajor database vendors, such as Oracle, Informix, Sybase, and IBM, are rapidly moving into object-oriented database design. This book helps you through the transition.

The evolution of Oracle has led to a revolution in design practices. For Oracle 10g, database physical structures have become more complex than ever before and database designers face multiple ways to implement their logical models. IS students studying database design and administration need to be able to implement management systems in a way that enables fast performance while preserving logical data structures. Physical Database Design Using Oracle correlates logical data models with the physical implementation structures that Oracle provides. It allows students to learn how to take logical data models and convert them into a series of data structures that permit fast and easy logical access to data. Oracle 10g offers object-oriented data structures, pure relational data structures, and specialized data structures such as index-organized tables. Given so many choices, future DBAs and Oracle designers must understand the approprate use of each physical technology and how it maps to their data models. This textbook is targeted at undergraduate and graduate IS students working to become the Oracle professionals of the near future. It is expected that they already have exposure to basic Oracle database administration. The expert guidance provided by this textbook offers the insight needed to choose appropriate physical models for mission-critical applications.
