Physical Database Design for Sybase Sql Server

Useful for experienced database designers not those new to SQL Server or to database design and for project planners (although it is not a project planning guide). Text and examples guide readers in workbook fashion through a series of ordered activities, the goal being a sound physical design for an SQL Server database to be used in the client/server architecture. Coverage begins with defining tables and columns, defining keys, and identifying critical transactions, and proceeds through a total of 21 topics, ending with controlling access to data, managing object sizes, and recommending object placement.

This is the first in a series of practical guidebooks -- known as the Sybase Method Set -- for database developers who are involved in designing and implementing client/server applications in the Sybase environment. Written by Sybase consulting engineers -- who combine detailed knowledge of SQL Server with a real-world understanding of the issues involved in designing and implementing client/server solutions -- it takes readers step-by-step from the logical-design stage to an optimized physical design for a single-server SQL Server database.
