Sommario/riassunto

This new book aims to provide both beginners and experts with a completely algorithmic approach to data analysis and conceptual modeling, database design, implementation, and tuning, starting from vague and incomplete customer requests and ending with IBM DB/2, Oracle, MS SQL Server, or Access-based software applications. A rich panoply of solutions to actual useful data sub-universes-such as business, university, public and home library, geography, and history-is provided, constituting a powerful library of examples.
