Useful patterns and interesting concepts
The book presented 25 patterns grouped in 5 areas, decoupling (conceptual and architectural level), resource, input/output, cache and concurrency.
Great book on persistence theory
I'm in the middle of developing yet another persistence framework for a client, having done it a couple of times before. Each time I refine my ideas about how to do it. I must say that this book has a thorough examination of issues and certainly food for thought as well as answers to a couple of questions I've had. Good design pattern book in data access !!
I am in the process of writing a thesis proposal that utilizing JDBC and TableModeler to access various database platforms as a prototype.Read more

Definitive Work on the Subject
I have read this book cover to cover. Think about that. When was the last time you (or anyone you know) read a technical book cover to cover? It is that good. It *does* get a bit deep and theoretical in many places, but it covers the subject matter with more depth and more meaningful examples than any other book I have ever seen. A MUST READ, if you want to design serious object databases!!

A very good book on object-oriented modeling
The book is composed of four parts: modeling concepts, analysis/design, implementation and large system issues. excellent book for advanced data architects
This book really enables to seamlessly synthesize 2 approaches - relational and object oriented while building systems with complex data structures and persistence requirements. ... Read more

Not Enough Of What It Is Supposed To Be
Less than half of this book really deals with what the title suggests.Chapters 6, 7, and 8 are the only things of value to someone already familiar with the UML.The previous chapters try to give the database designer an overview of using UML for all project aspects; however, this is done much more cleanly in other books like UML Distilled or Visual Modeling With Rational Rose 20XX and UML. Great understanding for all facets of DB Design
Despite the previous reviews of this book I decided to read it and am glad that I did.The authors took me through a thorough yet easily understood path of both UML and database design.Not being an expert in UML, but having a background as a data analyst, I found the book useful to understand UML as it pertained to how I would use it.The callouts for database designers were very helpful and by following a consistent real-world example, I was able to understand how I would design my databases using the UML.I now understand that I don't have to know or even use the entire language to succeed, but only the parts that are relevant at the time I am designing and now I can be on the same page as my development team too.

I really liked it!
I wanted a book that would show how to start using UML for data modeling.This did. I too liked the DB Designer sidebars and the detailed case study.I thought the case study "story" sections were a nice change of pace from most software books' straight technical style. (And I've see such stories happen on the job too often.) This book worked for me. ... Read more

mainly keywords without proper examples
This book is mainly a summary of the Caché elements and keywords - fairly the same as in the Caché html documentation. What the book lacks are proper examples. Caché is an object-oriented layer over old, procedural MUMPS, but the few examples in the book are mainly examples of the old MUMPS syntax (like a C++ book with all examples in plain C).
Too little information for such a large product
I have been studying this book for over a year, Not enough detail
I didn't find this book to be very helpfull.You might as well read the online documentation. ... Read more

Concise and Informative
I'll be using this book to teach my 5th semester Computer Engineering students about SQL in a DB2 environment.The organization is excellent and the level of discussion is clear.My students need to learn about dynamic and embedded SQL as well as deal with the specifics of IBM's approach. Chamberlin should be congratulated for his approach and I hope that he continues to update his book as the DB2 product changes.

Excellent resource for the rookie or the old hat.
I have worked with serveral different RDBMS packages, but up until the last year never with DB2.Every database has their own SQL idiosyncracies and C/C++ interfaces so I needed a guide that would work both for someone new to the DB2 database but also for an experienced programmer. A well-written guide to IBM's DB2 for common servers
This book offers a lucid presentation of the major features of the IBM DB2 for common servers products, which run on UNIX and PC platforms. The emphasis is on support for newer SQL features such as triggers and stored procedures that make DB2 an "object-relational" system. The book, which is replete with tips and examples,is useful both as a reference and a how-to guide. I would not recommend this book for beginners, i.e., those without some hands-on experience with a relational Database Management System; although the book is clearly written, the subject matter covered is broad and necessarily compressed, even within 682 pages. This book was recommended by IBM as a study aid for their new DB2 professional certification program, before the release of the DB2 Certification Guide for common servers book ... Read more
