Data Modeling and Design for Today‘s Architectures (Artech House Computer Science Library)

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.
