Database Development and Management explains all aspects of database design, access, implementation, application development, and management, as well as data analysis for business intelligence. This self-contained text gives students hands-on projects required for professionally developing and managing databases. It provides detailed instruction via an easy-to-follow, step-by-step case-based approach.
Database and Applications Security: Integrating Information Security and Data Management reviews recent developments in
security, with a special emphasis on the protection of databases. The author pays particular attention to securing
emerging applications such as e-commerce, sensor information processing, and knowledge management. The book begins by providing essential background in database security, followed by descriptions of discretionary
access control, multilevel secure databases, and models, functions, prototypes, and products of multilevel secure
relational systems. It then discusses facets of the inference problem and addresses secure distributed databases. Following
an analysis of secure object systems, the book focuses on security aspects of data warehousing and data mining. It also
covers threats to privacy due to data mining, and concludes with an exploration of emerging technologies.

Grid Database Design investigates the origin, background, and components of this new computing model. This book presents new concepts and analyzes pre-existing ideas in the context of Grid, educating organizations as to how Grid can increase their computing power and strengthen their operations. Divided into three sections, the volume begins by laying the groundwork in the field, defining the concepts that led to the model's emergence. The second section explains what is entailed in building a Grid, focusing on security, hardware, and the forces driving growth. The final section explores details of databases in a Grid environment, illustrating how the Grid environment will shape database evolution.
|  Until now, almost all books on logical database design focused exclusively on relational design. However, modern
database management systems have added powerful features that have driven a movement away from truly normalized
database design.
Logical Database Design Principles reflects these recent changes. The book begins by covering
traditional logical design principles, followed by an analysis of the normalizing and modeling of data. It then
examines designing for specific purposes, such as object-oriented databases, online transaction processing (OLTP),
and data warehouses. As the text progresses, it moves from the purely logical into some physical design, as
determined by how the features of modern databases are implemented.

In
Physical Database Design Using Oracle, Don Burleson correlates logical data models with the physical implementation structures that Oracle provides. It allows you to learn how to take logical data models and convert them into a series of data structures that permit fast and easy logical access to data. Oracle 10g offers object-oriented data structures, pure relational data structures, and specialized data structures such as index-organized tables. Given so many choices, both future DBAs and Oracle designers must understand the approprate use of each physical technology and how it maps to their data models.
|  Oracle E-Business Suite is a complex set of programs. Most information in print is buried and difficult to
sift through. There are tens of thousands of pages in the Oracle manuals alone.
Oracle E-Business Suite from the Front Lines is the first book to compile in one place the documented and undocumented methods for successfully
mastering E-Business Suite. The author provides tips, hints, and techniques for accomplishing what needs to be done
in a reasonable amount of time. The book delivers tested, working real life techniques to face the daunting tasks
that go along with E-Business Suite. Using this book as a quick technical reference, the new and not-so-new
applications DBA will be able to keep one of the key systems in the organization running well. | 
Web Data Mining and Applications in Business Intelligence and Counter-Terrorism presents a clear and comprehensive overview of Web mining, with emphasis on CRM and, for the first time, security and counter-terrorism applications. The tools and methods of Web mining are revealed in an easy-to-understand style, emphasizing the importance of practical, hands-on experience in the creation of successful e-business solutions. | 
Now you have a guide that examines the structure and potential usage of these emerging standards.
Distributed Multimedia Database Technologies Supported by MPEG-7 and MPEG-21
describes the technologies, concepts, and tools of distributed,
content-based multimedia systems. It focuses on the practical uses of the technologies of MPEG and SQL/MM in these
components, and on the interoperability among them (for data exchange, transactions, interaction, etc.). This book
demonstrates an open distributed multimedia framework that enables these components to cooperate in a working environment,
delivering rich multimedia access in an increasingly mobile world. |
Handbook of Video Databases: Design and Applications provides the tools to help overcome the problems of storage, cataloging, and retrieval, by exploring content standardization and other content classification and analysis methods. The challenge of these complex problems make this book a must-have for video database practitioners in the fields of image and video processing, computer vision, multimedia systems, data mining, and many other diverse disciplines. | 
Database Design Using Entity-Relationship Diagrams clarifies E-R diagramming by defining it in terms of requirements (end user requests) and specifications (designer feedback to those requests). The book explains how open communication between designers and end users is critical to developing usable, easy-to-understand E-R diagrams that model both requirements and specifications. | 
XML Databases and the Semantic Web Efficient access to data, sharing data, extracting information from data, and making use of the information have become urgent needs for today's corporations. With so much data on the Web, managing it with conventional tools is becoming almost impossible. New tools and techniques are necessary to provide interoperability as well as warehousing between multiple data sources and systems, and to extract information from the databases. XML Databases and the Semantic Web focuses on critical and new Web technologies needed for organizations to carry out transactions on the Web, to understand how to use the Web effectively, and to exchange complex documents on the Web. | |
