Klappentext In recent years, database management systems have grown increasingly unwieldy as software companies attempt to incorporate a wider and wider range of functionality. Now the trend is towards componentization -- "unbundling" these behemoths and repackaging their features so customers can select, pay for, and assemble only what they need.Component Database Systems is a collection of papers from the researchers making the most influential contributions to this effort. Though these readings tend towards the theoretical, almost all represent the very practical directions taken by leading database vendors to establish a commercially viable componentization strategy. This book therefore has great appeal for practitioners with a stake in the near-future of the evolution of the database industry -- both technically savvy IT managers and product developers whose responsibilities require that they look ahead to technology likely to become widely available over the next two or three years.Focuses on the database industry's trend toward componentization. This book seeks to establish commercially viable componentization strategies. It covers component-focused architectures, methods for hooking components into an overall system, and support for component development. It also presents an overview of component database systems.
