Using organizational memory as a motivating feature, this text explains database management with the correct balance of business and technical material for the MIS professional. It covers the technical aspects of database design and implementation, with an equal emphasis on the "why" and "how" of the management of databases, and the managerial uses and philosophy behind databases. The text contains a chapter on organizational intelligence systems, including data warehousing, data mining, OLAP, and multidimensional databases and another chapter on web and data technology. Also, added coverage on client server, particularly 3-tier client server, distributed data access, and distributed data design and the managerial analysis of future organizational memory technologies.
