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
This book arms developers and system managers with battle-tested strategies and techniques for ensuring that distributed data is available to all clients in a distributed client/server environment.
