More About This Book

Overview

While solving numerous database management problems, relational database systems are generally limited to centralized systems supporting only structured data. Now, Database Directions introduces database management technologies and techniques that take readers beyond the limitations of today's relational database management systems.

Without getting into the details and complexities of specific commercial products, this book introduces database management techniques that go beyond today's relational database management systems--e.g., distributed, textual, multimedia, and object-oriented. The book describes the basic principles of object-oriented data, and describes the types of DBMS that manage this type of data.
