Description
Component Database Systems is a collection of invited chapters by the researchers making the most influential contributions
in the database industry's trend toward componentization
This book represents the sometimes-divergent, sometimes-convergent approaches
taken by leading database vendors as they seek to establish commercially viable componentization strategies. Together, these contributions
form the first book devoted entirely to the technical and architectural design of component-based database systems. In addition to detailing
the current state of their research, the authors also take up many of the issues affecting the likely future directions of component
databases.
If you have a stake in the evolution of any of today's leading database systems, this book will make fascinating reading.
It will also help prepare you for the technology that is likely to become widely available over the next several years.
