对象技术的出现早已成为软件开发历程的一个重要里程碑。本书深入而全面地向广大用户介绍了如何利用面向对象方法进行数据库模型的设计，包括逻辑模型和物理数据模型。本书涵盖了为实际设计和构造数据库所需的所有必要论题，如域的设置、命名约定、非规范化操作及逻辑结构可被物理实施的不同方法等，并通过传统ERD和称为UML的新的面向对象标准展示了大量实例。本书以关系数据库为基础，不仅包括建模技术，而且通过所添加的丰富的UML语言进一步深化了面向对象和类的概念。本书当之无愧是Oracle数据库领域有关建模设计的主要参考指南。 本书不仅适用于在关系数据库领域有所研究，且对面向对象方法有所了解的数据库模型设计人员、开发人员，同时也是对Oracle数据库有兴趣的广大读者的重要参考读物。-The emergence of object technology, software development has become an important milestone in the journey. This book in-depth and comprehensive introduction to the majority of users how to use object-oriented approach to database model design, including the logical model and physical data model. This book covers the actual design and construction of a database for all the necessary topics, such as the domain settings, naming conventions, non-standardized operation and logical structure that can be implemented in different physical methods, and through traditional ERD and UML as the new object-oriented standard of showing a lot of examples. The book is based relational database, including not only modeling techniques, but also through the added language to further deepen the rich UML object-oriented and class concepts. This book is a worthy field of Oracle Database Modeling and Design of the main reference guide. This book not only applies to something in the field study in a relational
