More About This Textbook

Overview

Distributed database systems have now come of age with the announcement of several commercial products (Oracle, Ingres, Multi-Star) which meet the urgent need for integration of heterogeneous collections of data. This book adopts a practical approach, reviewing the fundamentals of database technology and developments in data communications (including standards) before reviewing the principles of distributed DB systems. It includes case studies of the leading products.
