It explains the technology at a higher level and also covers the internals, providing generous code and design examples
| The Concordance Database Manual (Expert's Voice)
 | As a document imaging database, Concordance 8 gives you the ability to search through otherwise unmanageable amounts of data to locate just the precise records necessary for the case at hand
The product also boasts extensive case analysis and organization features
This leaves you free to organize and manipulate crucial documents as you choose
| The Data Access Handbook: Achieving Optimal Database Application Performance and Scalability
 | The Data Access Handbook Achieving Optimal Database Application Performance and Scalability John Goodson ? Robert A
Steward Drive breakthrough database application performance by optimizing middleware and connectivity Performance and scalability are more critical than ever in today? | The Database Hacker's Handbook : Defending Database Servers
 | Databases are the nerve center of our economy
Every piece of your personal information is stored there-medical records, bank accounts, employment history, pensions, car registrations, even your children's grades and what groceries you buy
Database attacks are potentially crippling-and relentless
| The Definitive Guide to Berkeley DB XML (Definitive Guide)
 | The Definitive Guide to Berkeley DB XML covers Sleepycat's Berkeley DB XML, an open source embedded XML database

| The Firebird Book: A Reference for Database Developers
 | The Firebird Book: A Reference for Database Developers Although less publicized than other open source database management systems, Firebird continues to gain a dedicated following of professional users
Figures have already reached hundreds of thousands worldwide, in Firebird?s short three-year history in open source
| The Fourth Paradigm: Data-Intensive Scientific Discovery (Volume 1)
 | This book presents the first broad look at the rapidly emerging field of data-intensive science, with the goal of influencing the worldwide scientific and computing research communities and inspiring the next generation of scientists
Increasingly, scientific breakthroughs will be powered by advanced computing capabilities that help researchers manipulate and explore massive datasets
The speed at which any given scientific discipline advances will depend on how well its researchers collaborate with one another, and with technologists, in areas of eScience such as databases, workflow management, visualization, and cloud-computing technologies
| The Fractal Structure of Data Reference:: Applications to the Memory Hierarchy (Advances in Database Systems)
 | The architectural concept of a memory hierarchy has been immensely successful, making possible today's spectacular pace of technology evolution in both the volume of data and the speed of data access
Its success is difficult to understand, however, when examined within the traditional `memoryless` framework of performance analysis
The `memoryless' framework cannot properly reflect a memory hierarchy's ability to take advantage of patterns of data use that are transient
| The Legal Protection of Databases: A Comparative Analysis
 | The protection of the investment made in collecting, verifying or presenting database contents is still not harmonised internationally
Some laws overprotect database contents, whilst others under-protect them
This book examines and compares several types of methods available for the protection of investment in database creation (intellectual property, unfair competition, contract and technological protection measures) in order to find an adequate type and level of protection
| The Manga Guide to Databases (Manga Guide To...)
 | Want to learn about databases without the tedium? With its unique combination of Japanese-style comics and serious educational content, The Manga Guide to Databases is just the book for you
Princess Ruruna is stressed out

| Transactional Information Systems: Theory, Algorithms, and the Practice of Concurrency Control (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data Management Systems)
 |
Transactional Information Systems is the long-awaited, comprehensive work from leading scientists in the transaction processing field
Weikum and Vossen begin with a broad look at the role of transactional technology in today's economic and scientific endeavors, then delve into critical issues faced by all practitioners, presenting today's most effective techniques for controlling concurrent access by multiple clients, recovering from system failures, and coordinating distributed transactions
The authors emphasize formal models that are easily applied across fields, that promise to remain valid as current technologies evolve, and that lend themselves to generalization and extension in the development of new classes of network-centric, functionally rich applications
| Using SQLite
 | Application developers, take note: databases aren't just for the IS group any more
You can build database-backed applications for the desktop, Web, embedded systems, or operating systems without linking to heavy-duty client-server databases such as Oracle and MySQL
This book shows you how to use SQLite, a small and lightweight relational database engine that you can build directly into your application
| Video Database Systems: Issues, Products, and Applications (Advances in Database Systems)
 | Great advances have been made in the database field
Relational and object- oriented databases, distributed and client/server databases, and large-scale data warehousing are among the more notable
However, none of these advances promises to have as great and direct an effect on the daily lives of ordinary citizens as video databases
