Information systems in healthcare and public utility services depend on comp- ing infrastructures. Many research e?orts are being made in related areas, such as wireless computing (e. g. , Auto-ID Laboratories, and projects at MIT), W- based computing, and information accesses by Web users. Government agencies in many countries plan to launch facilities in education, healthcare and infor- tion support as a part of e-government initiatives. In this context, information interchange management has become an active research ?eld. A number of new opportunities have evolved in design and modeling based on new computing needs of users. Database systems play a central role in supporting networked information systems for access and storage management aspects. The4thInternationalWorkshoponDatabasesinNetworkedInformationS- tems (DNIS 2005) was held on March 28-30, 2005 at the University of Aizu in Japan. The workshop program included research contributions, and invited c- tributions. A view of research activity in Information Interchange Management and related research issues was provided by the session on this topic. The invited contribution was contributed by Dr. Umeshwar Dayal. The workshop session on Web Data Management Systems had invited papers by Prof. Elisa Bertino, Prof. Masahito Hirakawa, and Prof. William I. Grosky. The two sessions on Networked Information Systems included invited contributions by Prof. Sushil Jajodia, Dr. Cyrus Shahabi, Prof. Divyakant Agrawal and Dr. Harumi Kuno. I would like to thank the members of the Program Committee for their support and all authors who considered DNIS 2005 in making research contributions.

The Programmer's Guide to SQL provides an in-depth yet concise tutorial on the use of Structured Query Language (SQL), the standard that defines how to create and manipulate databases and the data that they store. Once you've mastered the fundamentals, the book serves as a handy desktop reference on SQL usage, covering all the major SQL statements that you're likely to need when programming databases, with example code for five major database systems: SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, MySQL, and Access. In each case, it demonstrates how the SQL standard is implemented, and in some cases extended, by each database system vendor. It discusses: - Querying, modifying and summarizing data using SQL - SQL Functions- Complex nested queries and joins - Programming database stores procedures, triggers and views - Creating tables, indexes and other database objects- How to write transaction-safe SQL - How to implement basic database security The book covers the very latest version of the SQL standard, SQL-99, and includes two complete case studies, showing how to create and query the underlying database for a fully featured web site, and how to implement role-based security in your applications. in search of an SQL reference that also demonstrates how to use SQL to solve real business problems

The 9th International Conference on Database Systems for Advanced Appli- tions (DASFAA 2004) was held during March 17-19, 2004 on the beautiful Jeju island of Korea. The DASFAA conference provides an international forum for technical discussions among researchers, developers, and users of database - stems from academia, business, and industry. The main focus of DASFAA is on research in database theory, development of advanced DBMS technologies, and their advanced applications. A premier database conference in the Asia/Paci?c region, DASFAA has been held every two years, and in many countries in the - gion. To promote the area further and to answer the needs of many participants, the steering committee decided to hold the conference annually. DASFAA 2004 was the ?rst such annual conference. The conference was organized by the Special Interest Group on Databases (SIGDB) of the Korea Information Science Society and the Advanced Infor- tion Technology Research Center (AITrc) at KAIST - an engineering research center of excellence (ERC) supported by the Korea Science and Engineering Foundation (KOSEF). We had a number of sponsors who made generous cont- butionstomaketheconferencesuccessful.

* No other book covers all existing versions of SQL Server - this one does. * No other book contains as detailed explanations of the inner workings of the authentication and authorization processes. * This book is the result of nearly two years of research, and every example has been tested exhaustively to ensure the book is technically accurate. * Lewis has been a contributing author to SQL Server Magazine since its inception and trained hundreds of students on SQL Server since 1995; therefore, he knows how to make complex topics understandable to a wide range of people. * Lewis has consulted with several Fortune 500 companies on various aspects of database administration, and the book draws on his experience to highlight the critical weaknesses commonly found in even large companies with well-trained administrators. * If properly applied, the recommendations in this book result in a safer, more secure database environment. For example, this book recommended configuring firewalls to block the traffic used by the "Slammer" virus long before the virus became news. Those who read this book and followed its advice slept soundly the weekend that "Slammer" was taking the Internet down.
During recent years, huge efforts have been made to establish digital libraries, in a variety of media, offered from a variety of sources, and intended for a variety of professional and private user communities. As digital data collections proliferate, problems of resource selection and data fusion become major issues. Traditional search engines, even the best ones, are unable to provide access to the hidden web of information that is only available via digital library search interfaces. Originating from the SIGIR 2003 Workshop on Distributed Information Retrieval, held in Toronto, Canada in August 2003, this book presents extended and revised workshop papers as well as several invited papers on the topic to round off coverage of the core issues. The papers are devoted to recent research on the design and implementation of methods and tools for resource discovery, resource description, resource selection, data fusion, and user interaction.

N etwork-based computing domain unifies all best research efforts presented from single computer systems to networked systems to render overwhelming computational power for several modern day applications. Although this power is expected to grow with respect to time due to tech nological advancements, application requirements impose a continuous thrust on network utilization and on the resources to deliver supreme quality of service. Strictly speaking, network-based computing dornain has no confined scope and each element offers considerable challenges. Any modern day networked application strongly thrives on efficient data storage and management system, which is essentially a Database System. There have been nurnber of books-to-date in this domain that discuss fundamental principles of designing a database systern. Research in this dornain is now far matured and rnany researchers are venturing in this dornain continuously due to a wide variety of challenges posed. In this book, our dornain of interest is in exposing the underlying key challenges in designing algorithms to handle unpredictable requests that arrive at a Distributed Database System(DDBS) and evaluating their performance. These requests are otherwise called as on-line requests arriving at a system to process. Transactions in an on-line Banking service, Airline Reservation systern, Video-on-Demand systern, etc, are few examples of on-line requests."
This is the only book that provides comprehensive coverage of SQL Server 2000 specifically from a Visual Basic programmer's point of view. SQL Server is now the first choice for the Visual Basic developer wanting a more powerful, reliable and sophisticated database than MS Access can provide. SQL 2000, is tightly integrated with Windows 2000, offering more support for XML and much improved OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) services. This book is for VB developers who want to integrate SQL Server 2000 into their applications. It covers everything needed to work with SQL Server 2000, including topics such as SQL Server 2000 tools, managing database security, building and deploying English query applications, and more. The Jet database engine, which has traditionally powered Access, is gradually being replaced by the Microsoft Database Engine (MSDE), a limited-client version of the SQL Server engine (but without the front-end tools such as Enterprise Manager). This means that VB developers traditionally used to using a single-file database now have to cope with the client-server architecture of SQL Server. This is a big conceptual leap, and many VB developers struggle to make it. possible, and to show them how to use the full range of SQL Server's powerful tools within their VB applications. |
