The Data Model Resource Book: A Library of Universal Data Models for All Enterprises

A quick and reliable way to build proven databases for core business functions Industry experts raved about The Data Model Resource Book when it was first published in March 1997 because it provided a simple, cost–effective way to design databases for core business functions. Len Silverston has now revised and updated the hugely successful First Edition, while adding a companion volume to take care of more specific requirements of different businesses. Each volume is accompanied by a CD–ROM, which is sold separately. Each CD–ROM provides powerful design templates discussed in the books in a ready–to–use electronic format, allowing companies and individuals to develop the databases they need at a fraction of the cost and a third of the time it would take to build them from scratch. Updating the data models from the First Edition CD–ROM, this resource allows database developers to quickly load a core set of data models and customize them to support a wide range of business functions.
