Description
Information Modeling and Relational Databases, second edition, provides an introduction to ORM (Object-Role Modeling)and much more. In
fact, it is 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. This book is intended for anyone with a stake in the accuracy and efficacy of databases:
systems analysts, information modelers, database designers and administrators, and programmers.
Terry Halpin, a pioneer in the development
of ORM, 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.
Audience:
The audience is the same as for the first edition: data modelers, database designers, information architects, and practitioners/managers in data management.
