High-Performance Parallel Database Processing and Grid Databases
by David Taniar, Clement H. C. Leung, Wenny Rahayu, and Sushant Goel
Published 1 January 2008
The latest techniques and principles of parallel and grid database processing The growth in grid databases, coupled with the utility of parallel query processing, presents an important opportunity to understand and utilize high-performance parallel database processing within a major database management system (DBMS). This important new book provides readers with a fundamental understanding of parallelism in data-intensive applications, and demonstrates how to develop faster capabilities to support them. It presents a balanced treatment of the theoretical and practical aspects of high-performance databases to demonstrate how parallel query is executed in a DBMS, including concepts, algorithms, analytical models, and grid transactions. High-Performance Parallel Database Processing and Grid Databases serves as a valuable resource for researchers working in parallel databases and for practitioners interested in building a high-performance database. It is also a much-needed, self-contained textbook for database courses at the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels.
Many commercial DBMS vendors are realizing the growing importance of query processing of mobile databases. Balancing in-depth theoretical and practical information, Mobile Database Query Processing addresses this demand by helping readers learn the complete three-phase mobile database query processing system (on-demand query processing, data broadcasting and caching) and experience it by using real wireless environment PDA's and mobile query programming. Featuring a wealth of case studies that provide practical guidance, this hands-on tool is a must-have for researchers and students in the field. An instructor's manual is available.
