Information Modeling and Relational Databases provides an introduction to ORM (Object Role Modeling)-and much more. In fact, it's the only book to go beyond introductory coverage and provide all of the in-depth instruction you need to transform knowledge from domain experts into a sound database design. Inside, ORM authority Terry Halpin blends conceptual information with practical instruction that will let you begin using ORM effectively as soon as possible. Supported by examples, exercises, and useful background information, his step-by-step approach teaches you to develop a natural-language-based ORM model and then, where needed, abstract ER and UML models from it. This book will quickly make you proficient in the modeling technique that is proving vital to the development of accurate and efficient databases that best meet real business objectives. The most in-depth coverage of Object Role Modeling available anywhere-written by a pioneer in the development of ORM. Provides additional coverage of Entity Relationship (ER) modeling and the Unified Modeling Language-all from an ORM perspective. Intended for anyone with a stake in the accuracy and efficacy of databases: systems analysts, information modelers, database designers and administrators, instructors, managers, and programmers. Explains and illustrates required concepts from mathematics and set theory.
Entity-Relationship (ER) modeling is a popular method for representing data requirements, and for conceptual database design. This volume is for anyone designing or studying databases. Detailed real-life case studies are...
Conceptual Schema and Relational Database Design: A Fact Oriented Approach
In the beginning, when computers were the toys of back-room scientists, there were not databases, no systems architects, no information modelers. Computers did not manage business information, so there was...
The common examples are based on real-life experiences and have been thoroughly class-tested. This book is immediately useful to anyone tasked with the creation of data models for the integration of large-scale enterprise data.
In this first book to cover LogiQL, the authors explain how to design, implement, and query deductive databases using this new programming language.
Although Euler diagrams are more intuitive for simple cases, they are unwieldy for complex cases involving multiple overlapping subtypes, so they are not used in ORM. ORM makes a clear distinction between types and populations.
This book provides a practical and proven approach to designing relational databases. It contains two complementary design methodologies: logical data modeling and relational database design. The design methodologies are independent...
