Overview

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:

  • Client/server issues
  • Object technology
  • Distributed system design
  • Database access control and connectivity
  • Performance and tuning
  • Security
  • Backup and recovery
  • Trends for distributed databases
