Summary
This book presents a methodology for data base design in which systematic techniques are organized into a series of iterative procedures with numerous decision points. Beginning with the gathering of the initial data requirements, the process is carried through the design and evaluation of the logical and physical models. In addition to presenting a design methodology, the book focuses on the possible automation of major portions of that methodology.
