Hardcover. Etat : New. 1st Edition. Contents: Preface. 1. Object based databases. 2. Extensible markup language. 3. Parallel database. 4. Temporal databases. 5. Distributed databases. 6. Multimedia database. 7. Bibliography. 8. Subject index. The A Practical Approach to Advanced Databases consists of the advanced topics in the databases. Undergraduate students of engineering will study up to the relational databases, advanced data bases contain object oriented data bases concepts which are help full in the modeling of complex data bases. This proposed book consists of totally six topics which briefly giving the explanation of object oriented databases, XML, Parallel data bases, Temporal & spatial databases, distributed databases and multimedia data bases. In the first unit object oriented databases is discussed. It is covering the topics on advantages of using OODBMS, complex data types. Applications of Persistent programming languages,ODL. Accessing objects in RDBMS is discussed. In the second unit it is describing the XML language. Syntax of XML schema, Comparison of XML and relational model. Application interface to XML and converting XML to relational data base is also discussed. In the third unit is about parallel databases. Complete details of parallel databases are discussed. Three case studies are considered to give practical approach to parallel data bases. A topic on how create the parallel data base is also discussed. In fourth unit temporal and spatial data bases are discussed in the point of data structures to be used. Query processing and query optimization is discussed. Where ever it is possible by taking the help of SQL examples, concept is explained. In fifth unit it is clearly giving the details of distributed data bases. In this unit architecture is considered. A detail discussion on distributed links are presented. Concurrency control in distributed system is discussed in terms of protocols. Examples are considered where ever is necessary. Sixth unit is very interesting now a days in databases not only storing text we are storing the images also, so the multimedia databases how they store the image, and whenever required how retrieve it is focused as the part of MMDBMS. All concepts in the textbook are explained with the practical oriented approach.
