Data Architecture

Aimed at database administrators and application developers, this text focuses on data architecture design. It explains the relation between individual applications and communication between systems, showing how data should become a resource and a 'common language' for use by computer systems, rather than an inert substance under system management. System designers can use this reference and tutorial to plan, assess, design, implement, test, and maintain a data architecture. The book focuses exclusively on designing for the Sybase RDBMS.
