Object Database Development: Concepts and Principles
by David W. Embley
Addison-Wesley, 1998

Object-oriented database development is one of the best ways to build
software for many advanced applications. This book shows how to model
an application and systematically transform an application model into code
for a database system. Aimed at both university students and sophisticated
practicing professionals, "Object Database Development" presents the
fundamental concepts and principles needed for developing advanced database
applications, and it shows how to apply these principles successfully.
This book emphasizes application development for object-relational,
object-oriented, and active databases as well as for relational databases,
making it suitable for both introductory and advanced courses on database
application development.

FEATURES

o Takes an object-oriented approach to modeling and developing database
applications.

o Provides a seamless way to move from analysis through specification and
design into implementation.

o Focuses on concepts and principles that provide a sound theoretical
foundation for database application development.

o Presents several case studies (Oracle, UniSQL, O2, ObjectStore, and Ode),
that show how to turn theory into practice.
