Review DB2 for Z/OS and Os/390 Development for Performance (Volume 2) / Gabrielle & Associates:DB2 for z/OS and OS/390 Development for Performance in its fourth edition is the first book to include the features and facilities of V7 integrated into the book. This edition even has V7, V6, or V5 APAR number noted with the first of occurrence of a feature specific to the version or APAR in the index. Three DB2 professionals indexed the now hard cover book in two volumes. Having the most current information available and integrated into the book is a major advantage. The book is organized to follow the life cycle of an application system, beginning with the creation of objects and the design of indexes to lay the foundation for high performing systems. Programmer/analyst must develop high performing SQL to process data efficiently and have the knowledge base to tune SQL when required to meet response time requirements with minimal I/O and CPU time usage to minimize costs. The book concludes with the use of the utilities including enhancements in V6 and V7 for efficient maintenance of the data. It provides indepth coverage of the design and development of application systems for performance using DB2. Many examples of high performing SQL are given including actual timings to indicate the order of magnitude improvements that can be achieved by following the guidelines discussed. Alternatives are presented and discussed along with the pros and cons so that you can make the proper decisions for your application system. [+]The author provides many practical examples, hints, tips, and guidelines for the design and development of application systems.

Review Spatial Database Systems: Design, Implementation and Project Management (GeoJournal Library) / Springer:This first of a kind book places spatial data within the broader domain of information technology (IT) while providing a comprehensive and coherent explanation of the guiding principles, methods, implementation and operational management of spatial databases within the workplace. The text explains the key concepts, issues and processes of spatial data implementation and provides a holistic management perspective that complements the technical aspects of spatial data stressed in other textbooks. In this respect, this book is unique in its coverage of spatial database principles and architecture, database modelling including UML, database and spatial data standards, spatial data infrastructure, database implementation, and workplace-oriented project management including user needs study and end user education. The text first overviews the current state of spatial information technology and it concludes with a speculative account of likely future developments. Cutting edge research and practical workplace needs are defined and explained. Topics covered, among others, include strategies for end user education, current spatial data standards and their importance, legal issues and liabilities in the ownership and use of spatial data, spatial metadata use within distributed databases, the Internet and Web-based solutions to database deployment, quality assurance and quality control in database implementation and use, spatial decision support, and spatial data mining. The book applies equally to senior undergraduate and graduate courses and students, as well as spatial data managers and practitioners already in the workplace. It will enhance their technical and human-resource based understanding of spatial data management. Certification courses that seek to prepare students for careers in the spatial information industry and courses targeted at enhancing needed geospatial workplace knowledge and skills will benefit greatly from its content.
