This book develops a theory for transactions that provides practical solutions for system developers, focusing on the interface between the user and the database that executes transactions.

Demonstrates how to develop a business rules engine. This book covers user requirements, data modeling, and metadata. It includes conceptual overview chapters suitable for management-level readers, including general introduction, business justification, development and implementation considerations, and more.

How do you model and design your database application in consideration of new technology or new business needs? This title is loaded with design rules and case studies that are applicable to any SQL, UML, or XML-based system. It is useful to those tasked with the creation of data models for the integration of large-scale enterprise data.

Intended for both novice and experienced SQL users, this work focuses on the language's capabilities, from the basic to the advanced, and the ways that real applications take advantage of them. It illustrates features and techniques with references to their own custom database, which can be downloaded from the companion Web site.

Covers OLAP (On-Line Analytical Processing), extensions in SQL-99. This book presents an overview of many subjects that will give the working RDBMS programmers a map of the terra incognita they will face-if they want to grow. It teaches what SQL programmers need in order to make the transition from transactional systems (OLTP) into OLAP.

Helps you learn how to apply native XML technology to SOA for: data mediation using mid-tier data and service caching to handle the explosion of fresh schemas and devices in an ever changing environment and data aggregation in the SOA middle-tier for off-line browsing, service acceleration through mid-tier caching and transformation.

Helps managers and project leaders grasp how 'querying XML' fits into the larger context of querying and XML. This book provides a background from fundamental concepts (What is XML?) to data models (the Infoset, PSVI, XQuery Data Model), to APIs (querying XML from SQL or Java), and more.

Discusses and illustrates how to solve real problems using the Java Data Mining API. This book provides a data mining introduction - an overview of data mining and the problems it can address across industries. It also discusses JDM's place in strategic solutions to data mining-related problems.

Addresses the realities of successful sites. This book aims to provide the reader with the knowledge, tools, approaches, and processes to manage key site maintenance and evolution projects. It describes content management & customer relationship management and how to go about implementing them.

Presents an easily adaptable methodology for defining, measuring, and improving data quality. Written for both a managerial and a technical audience, this book is of interest to the growing number of companies committed to wresting every possible advantage from their vast stores of business information.

Describes the challenges of using XML in a manner that promotes simplification of integration, and a high degree of schema reuse. This book also describes syntactical capabilities of XML and XML Schemas, and the similarities of XML DTDs. It presents combinations of architectural approaches to using XML as well as syntactical and working examples.

Teaches you how to use the Unified Modeling Language - the official standard of the Object Management Group - to develop and implement the best possible design for your database. This book leads you step by step through the design process, from requirements analysis to schema generation.

Provides a look at XML and other technologies for publishing structured documents on the Web. This work examines developed methods for querying and updating structured Web documents and semistructured data, including XML-QL and XSL. It looks into the convergence of Web and database approaches to semistructured data presentation and querying.

Intended for IT managers and technical staff involved in the creation, administration, or maintenance of a data management infrastructure that includes XML. This book provides the guidance for data managers to make measured decisions about XML within their organizations.

Discusses the concept of how physical structures of databases affect performance, including specific examples, guidelines, and practices for a variety of DBMSs and configurations. This volume explores B+tree indexing, clustered indexes, multidimensional clustering (MDC), range partitioning, and, shared nothing partitioning

Provides heuristics, rules, tips, and tricks that intend to help readers improve their SQL programming style and proficiency, and format and write portable, readable, maintainable SQL code. This book enables readers to give their group a coding standard for internal use, to enable programmers to use a consistent style.

Suitable for database designers and database administrators using Visio, which is the database component of Microsoft's Visual Studio .NET for Enterprise Architects suite, also included in MSDN subscriptions, this book provides an introduction to data modeling, and includes practical advice on managing database projects.

Explores the conceptual modeling approach of software engineering, from idea to application. This work helps to learn not only how to harness the design technologies of relational databases for use on the Web, but also how to transform their conceptual designs of data-intensive Web applications into effective software components.
