While solving numerous database management problems, relational database systems are generally limited to centralized systems supporting only structured data. Now, Database Directions introduces database management technologies and techniques that take readers beyond the limitations of today's relational database management systems.

From the Back Cover:

Without getting into the details and complexities of specific commercial products, this book introduces database management techniques that go beyond today's relational database management systems — e.g., distributed, textual, multimedia, and object-oriented.Covers distributed database management systems — what they are, why we need them, and when to implement them. Discusses the risks associated with distributed DBMSs, presents alternative solutions to the major technical problems, points out the major pitfalls of distributed DBMSs, and offers suggestions for avoiding them. Considers three types of textual based systems — information retrieval, hoovering, and filtering — and describes various approaches to distributed textual database management systems. Explores multimedia DBMSs that manage a variety of new media types (e.g., text, image, audio, and video data types), describes the special problems introduced by multimedia (e.g., large data objects, continuous temporal data objects, and the problems of synchronization multiple streams of temporal data). Describes the basic principles of object-oriented data, and describes the types of DBMS that manage this type of data.For data processing managers, systems managers, application developers, database administrators, and others who are considering the use of distributed DBMS or non-relational DBMSs.
