Database Design for Smarties

About this book

This book teaches you how to use the Unified Modeling Language (UML) - the approved standard of the Object Management Group (OMG) - to develop and implement the best possible design for your database. Inside, the author leads you step-by-step through the design process, from requirements analysis to schema generation. You'll learn to express stakeholder needs in UML use cases and actor diagrams; to translate UML entities into database components; and to transform the resulting design into relational, object-relational, and object-oriented schemas for all major DBMS products.
