Editorial Reviews

Booknews
Explains to database developers and managers why it is a good idea to split databases supporting an organization's operational needs from those supporting its informational and analytical needs; and details how to effect the split in the DEC VAX Rdb/VMS environment. Most of the discussion concerns issues and techniques, rather than technical matters. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
