Overview

Describing the technology that makes it possible to design mission-critical database applications using inexpensive hardware and software database technology, this text provides the fundamental knowledge and design skills needed to effectively employ database software to solve business problems. It also examines distributed client/server environments and the application configurations that can be oriented in a multi system environment.
