| database design business rules: Database Design for Mere Mortals Michael James Hernandez, 2003 This book takes the somewhat daunting process of database design and breaks it into completely manageable and understandable components. Mike's approach whilst simple is completely professional, and I can recommend this book to any novice database designer. --Sandra Barker, Lecturer, University of South Australia, Australia Databases are a critical infrastructure technology for information systems and today's business. Mike Hernandez has written a literate explanation of database technology--a topic that is intricate and often obscure. If you design databases yourself, this book will educate you about pitfalls and show you what to do. If you purchase products that use a database, the book explains the technology so that you can understand what the vendor is doing and assess their products better. --Michael Blaha, consultant and trainer, author of A Manager's Guide to Database Technology If you told me that Mike Hernandez could improve on the first edition of Database Design for Mere Mortals I wouldn't have believed you, but he did! The second edition is packed with more real-world examples, detailed explanations, and even includes database-design tools on the CD-ROM! This is a must-read for anyone who is even remotely interested in relational database design, from the individual who is called upon occasionally to create a useful tool at work, to the seasoned professional who wants to brush up on the fundamentals. Simply put, if you want to do it right, read this book! --Matt Greer, Process Control Development, The Dow Chemical Company Mike's approach to database design is totally common-sense based, yet he's adhered to all the rules of good relational database design. I use Mike's books in my starter database-design class, and I recommend his books to anyone who's interested in learning how to design databases or how to write SQL queries. --Michelle Poolet, President, MVDS, Inc. Slapping together sophisticated applications with poorly designed data will hurt you just as much now as when Mike wrote his first edition, perhaps even more. Whether you're just getting started developing with data or are a seasoned pro; whether you've read Mike's previous book or this is your first; whether you're happier letting someone else design your data or you love doing it yourself--this is the book for you. Mike's ability to explain these concepts in a way that's not only clear, but fun, continues to amaze me. --From the Foreword by Ken Getz, MCW Technologies, coauthor ASP.NET Developer's JumpStart The first edition of Mike Hernandez's book Database Design for Mere Mortals was one of the few books that survived the cut when I moved my office to smaller quarters. The second edition expands and improves on the original in so many ways. It is not only a good, clear read, but contains a remarkable quantity of clear, concise thinking on a very complex subject. It's a must for anyone interested in the subject of database design. --Malcolm C. Rubel, Performance Dynamics Associates Mike's excellent guide to relational database design deserves a second edition. His book is an essential tool for fledgling Microsoft Access and other desktop database developers, as well as for client/server pros. I recommend it highly to all my readers. --Roger Jennings, author of Special Edition Using Access 2002 There are no silver bullets! Database technology has advanced dramatically, the newest crop of database servers perform operations faster than anyone could have imagined six years ago, but none of these technological advances will help fix a bad database design, or capture data that you forgot to include! Database Design for Mere Mortals(TM), Second Edition, helps you design your database right in the first place! --Matt Nunn, Product Manager, SQL Server, Microsoft Corporation When my brother started his professional career as a developer, I gave him Mike's book to help him understand database concepts and make real-world application of database technology. When I need a refresher on the finer points of database design, this is the book I pick up. I do not think that there is a better testimony to the value of a book than that it gets used. For this reason I have wholeheartedly recommended to my peers and students that they utilize this book in their day-to-day development tasks. --Chris Kunicki, Senior Consultant, OfficeZealot.com Mike has always had an incredible knack for taking the most complex topics, breaking them down, and explaining them so that anyone can 'get it.' He has honed and polished his first very, very good edition and made it even better. If you're just starting out building database applications, this book is a must-read cover to cover. Expert designers will find Mike's approach fresh and enlightening and a source of great material for training others. --John Viescas, President, Viescas Consulting, Inc., author of Running Microsoft Access 2000 and coauthor of SQL Queries for Mere Mortals Whether you need to learn about relational database design in general, design a relational database, understand relational database terminology, or learn best practices for implementing a relational database, Database Design for Mere Mortals(TM), Second Edition, is an indispensable book that you'll refer to often. With his many years of real-world experience designing relational databases, Michael shows you how to analyze and improve existing databases, implement keys, define table relationships and business rules, and create data views, resulting in data integrity, uniform access to data, and reduced data-entry errors. --Paul Cornell, Site Editor, MSDN Office Developer Center Sound database design can save hours of development time and ensure functionality and reliability. Database Design for Mere Mortals(TM), Second Edition, is a straightforward, platform-independent tutorial on the basic principles of relational database design. It provides a commonsense design methodology for developing databases that work. Database design expert Michael J. Hernandez has expanded his best-selling first edition, maintaining its hands-on approach and accessibility while updating its coverage and including even more examples and illustrations. This edition features a CD-ROM that includes diagrams of sample databases, as well as design guidelines, documentation forms, and examples of the database design process. This book will give you the knowledge and tools you need to create efficient and effective relational databases. |
| database design business rules: What Not how C. J. Date, 2000 What I think Date has done is nothing less than to lay out the foundational concepts for the next generation of business logic servers based on predicate logic. Such a breakthrough should revolutionize application development in our industry--and take business rules to their fullest expression. --Ronald G. Ross, Principal, Business Rule Solutions, LLC Executive Editor, DataToKnowledge Newsletter The way we build computer applications is about to change dramatically, thanks to a new development technology known as business rules. The key idea behind the technology is that we can build applications declaratively instead of procedurally--that is, we can simply state WHAT needs to be done instead of HOW to do what needs to be done. The advantages are obvious: ease and rapidity of initial development and subsequent maintenance, hardware and software platform independence, overall productivity, business adaptivity, and more. What Not How: The Business Rules Approach to Application Development is a concise and accessible introduction to this new technology. It is written for both managers and technical professionals. The book consists of two parts: Part I presents a broad overview of what business rules are all about; Part II then revisits the ideas in Part I and shows how they fit squarely into the solid tradition of relational technology. Topics covered include: Presentation rules Database and application rules Building on the data model Potential advantages and disadvantages A new look at relational fundamentals Business rules and the relational model Overall, the book provides a good grounding in an important new technology, one poised to transform the way we do business in the IT world. 0201708507B04062001 |

| database design business rules: UML for Database Design Eric J. Naiburg, Robert A. Maksimchuck, 2001 Typically, analysis, development, and database teams work for different business units, and use different design notations. With UML and the Rational Unified Process (RUP), however, they can unify their efforts -- eliminating time-consuming, error-prone translations, and accelerating software to market. In this book, two data modeling specialists from Rational Software Corporation show exactly how to model data with UML and RUP, presenting proven processes and start-to-finish case studies. The book utilizes a running case study to bring together the entire process of data modeling with UML. Each chapter dissects a different stage of the data modeling process, from requirements through implementation. For each stage, the authors cover workflow and participants' roles, key concepts, proven approach, practical design techniques, and more. Along the way, the authors demonstrate how integrating data modeling into a unified software design process not only saves time and money, but gives all team members a far clearer understanding of the impact of potential changes. The book includes a detailed glossary, as well as appendices that present essential Use Case Models and descriptions. For all software team members: managers, team leaders, systems and data analysts, architects, developers, database designers, and others involved in building database applications for the enterprise. |

| database design business rules: Principles of the Business Rule Approach Ronald G. Ross, 2003 The idea of Business Rules has been around for a while. Simply put, a Business Rule is a statement that defines or constrains some aspect of the business. In practice they are meant to reduce or eliminate the delays, waste, and frustration associated with the IT department having to be involved with almost every action affecting an organization's information systems. The advent of Web services has created renewed interest in them. There are now several well established rules-based products that have demonstrated the effectiveness of their use. But until now there has not been a definitive guide to Business Rules. Ron Ross, considered to be the father of Business Rules, will help organizations apply this powerful solution to their own computer system problems. This book is intended to be the first book that anyone from an IT manager to a business manager will read to understand what Business Rules are, and what how they can be applied to their own situation. |

| database design business rules: Designing Quality Databases with IDEF1X Information Models Thomas A. Bruce, 1992 In the beginning, when computers were the toys of back-room scientists, there were not databases, no systems architects, no information modelers. Computers did not manage business information, so there was no need for information specification techniques. In today's complex world, precise specification methods are a primary requirement for business success and survival. This book describes how to use information models to specify business information models to specify business information requirements, policies, and rules, and how to use these specifications to design and build database applications. Using IDEF1X, a language for describing information structures, this text provides clear and practical instructions that teach the reader to think about complex data and business rules without being concerned about the particular characteristics of the database management system that will be used for implementation. This text is addressed to both those who want to know the why and those who want to know the how of data-driven design. |

| database design business rules: Advances in Database Systems J. Paredaens, L. Tenenbaum, 2014-05-04 Advanced information technology is pervasive in any kind of human activity - science, business, finance, management and others - and this is particularly true for database systems. Both database theory and database applications constitute a very important part of the state of the art of computer science. Meanwhile there is some discrepancy between different aspects of database activity. Theoreticians are sometimes not much aware of the real needs of business and industry; software specialists not always have the time or the apportunity to get acquainted with the most recent theoretical ideas and trends, as well as with advanced prototypes arising from these ideas; potential users often do not have the possibility of evaluating the theoretical foundations and the potential practical impact of different commercial products. So the main goal of the course was to put together people involved in different aspects of database activity and to promote active exchange of ideas among them. |

| database design business rules: Database Life Cycle Open University. Relational Databases: Theory and Practice Course Team, 2007-04 This block is concerned with the database lifecycle, which describes the stages a database goes through, from the time the need for a database is established until it is withdrawn from use. This block applies the practice developed in Block 3 to systematically develop, implement and maintain a database design that supports the information requirements of an enterprise. It presents a simple framework for database development and maintenance.This is a very practical block and will require you to write and execute SQL statements for which you will need access to a computer installed with the course software (order code M359/CDR01) and database cards Scenarios and Hospital conceptual data model (order code M359/DBCARDS) |

| database design business rules: Data Modeling for Quality Graham Witt, 2021-01-20 This book is for all data modelers, data architects, and database designers―be they novices who want to learn what's involved in data modeling, or experienced modelers who want to brush up their skills. A novice will not only gain an overview of data modeling, they will also learn how to follow the data modeling process, including the activities required for each step. The experienced practitioner will discover (or rediscover) techniques to ensure that data models accurately reflect business requirements. This book describes rigorous yet easily implemented approaches to: modeling of business information requirements for review by business stakeholders before development of the logical data model normalizing data, based on simple questions rather than the formal definitions which many modelers find intimidating naming and defining concepts and attributes modeling of time-variant data documenting business rules governing both the real world and data data modeling in an Agile project managing data model change in any type of project transforming a business information model to a logical data model against which developers can code implementing the logical data model in a traditional relational DBMS, an SQL:2003-compliant DBMS, an object-relational DBMS, or in XML. Part 1 describes business information models in-depth, including: the importance of modeling business information requirements before embarking on a logical data model business concepts (entity classes) attributes of business concepts attribute classes as an alternative to DBMS data types relationships between business concepts time-variant data generalization and specialization of business concepts naming and defining the components of the business information model business rules governing data, including a distinction between real-world rules and data rules. Part 2 journeys from requirements to a working data resource, covering: sourcing data requirements developing the business information model communicating it to business stakeholders for review, both as diagrams and verbally managing data model change transforming the business information model into a logical data model of stored data for implementation in a relational or object-relational DBMS attribute value representation and data constraints (important but often overlooked) modeling data vault, dimensional and XML data. |
