Information Structure Design for Databases. A Practical Guide to Data Modelling

For systems and data analysts who design relational data base management systems, Mortimer (computer studies, U. of Glamorgan, Wales) suggests data modeling techniques for the entire process from the first contact with the user organization, through analysis and design, to the final result. The approach is highly practical, using diagrams, case studies, and examples from real design environments; theory is mentioned only when absolutely necessary. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
