Data Base Management System Administration BWL "This book is a major advance for transaction processing. It gives an in-depth presentation of both the theoretical and practical aspects of the field, and is the first to present our new understanding of multi-level (object model) transaction processing. It's likely to become the standard reference in our field for many years to come." The definitive guide to transaction processing; the programmes e-commerce relies on! E-commerce is a growing and vital part of today's new economy. At the heart of e-commerce, not to mention traditional data-intensive business, is transaction processing. Transaction processing includes the highly complex processes that transfer money from one account to another, reserve seats on a flight, control stock trading and make adjustments to inventory - just to give a few examples. Written by two widely recognized authorities, Fundamentals of Transactional Information Systems approaches the subject from the bottom up, focusing on the low-level algorithms out of which various pieces of transaction processing are constructed. It also examines higher-level challenges such as concurrency (synchronizing data stored in multiple locations) and recovery (protection against system failures). This is indispensable knowledge for an ever growing audience of programmers and database architects working on business systems of all kinds. Authoritative coverage from star researchers - both big names in the transaction processing field A topic of increasing importance to developers working for both traditional and e-commerce companies I enjoyed reading the book very much - or should I say I devoured it! In comparison with other books in the field, e.g. the classical ones Bernstein, Hadzilacos and Goodman or Papadimitriou, it is much more detailed and provides a unified framework for the representaion. In contrast to other books, it not only covers the traditional page model, but also treats the socalled object model which is much more general and gives additional insight as a unifying platform for different sophisticated variants of traditional TP protocols. What I found especially insightful is the rigour treatment of the topic in terms of a presice mathemetical model, not only for the protocols concerned with isolation of transactions, but also for the recovery protocols. I strongly recommend reading this book when you want to get a deeper understanding of the field. But of course it is also a beautiful introduction for beginners in TP and database systems.
