The book is very clearly written in a step-by-step manner, and contains an abundance of well-chosen examples illuminating practice and theory in information modeling. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in conceptual modeling and databases.\" \u003cb\u003e--Dr. Herman Balsters, Director of the Faculty of Industrial Engineering, University of Groningen, The Netherlands\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eInformation Modeling and Relational Databases, Second Edition\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTerry 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e1 Introduction \u003cbr\u003e2 Information Levels and Frameworks \u003cbr\u003e3 Conceptual Modeling: First Steps \u003cbr\u003e4 Uniqueness Constraints \u003cbr\u003e5 Mandatory Roles \u003cbr\u003e6 Value, Set-Comparison and Subtype Constraints \u003cbr\u003e7 Other Constraints and Final Checks \u003cbr\u003e8 Entity Relationship Modeling \u003cbr\u003e9 Data Modeling in UML \u003cbr\u003e10 Advanced Modeling Issues\u003cbr\u003e11 Relational Mapping \u003cbr\u003e12 Data Manipulation with Relational Languages \u003cbr\u003e13 Using Other Database Objects\u003cbr\u003e14 Schema Transformations\u003cbr\u003e15 Process and State Modeling\u003cbr\u003e16 Other Modeling Aspects and Trends\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Software Engineering [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Software Engineering\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Software%20Engineering%20%5BUMZ%5D%22\"\u003eUMZ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Morgan Kaufmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46648373969176,"sku":"9780123735683","price":57.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780123735683_262e171a-4ba8-4eed-a9a7-fc99ef4e3a29.jpg?v=1695013800","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/information-modeling-and-relational-databases-hardback-9780123735683","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
