, Preface
Data modeling and database design have undergone significant evolution in
recent years. Today, the relational data model and the relational database
system dominate business applications. The relational model has allowed
the database designer to focus on the logical and physical characteristics of
a database separately. This book concentrates on techniques for database
design, with a very strong bias for relational database systems, using the ER
(Entity Relationships) approach for conceptual modeling (solely a logical
implementation).
Intended Audience
This book is intended to be used by database practitioners and students for
data modeling. It is also intended to be used as a supplemental text in
database courses, systems analysis and design courses, and other courses
that design and implement databases. Many present-day database and
systems analysis and design books limit their coverage of data modeling.
This book not only increases the exposure to data modeling concepts, but
also presents a detailed, step-by-step approach to designing an ER diagram
and developing the relational database from it.
