Summary

Describing the technology that makes it possible to design mission-critical database applications using inexpensive hardware and software database technology, this book provides the fundamental knowledge and design skills needed to effectively employ database software to solve business problems. It also examines distributed client/server environments and the application configurations that can be oriented in a multi system environment. Introduces the capabilities of Structured Query Language (SQL), and covers the common pitfalls that new users might not otherwise discover from reading software documentation.

Features


includes everything the MIS manager needs to implement cheaper and easier-to-use business applications with client/server architecture.
focuses on solving mission-critical (billing and inventory) business problems.
written in the classic James Martin style: complex subjects explained in a simple manner.
