This book is the only comprehensive reference on the market for both OpenSource and commercial database products. As the popularity of Linux has become mainstream, there are three major vendors in the commercial database industry - Oracle, Sybase and Informix. There is no book currently available which covers the major Linux database products.
This book includes: an introduction to Linux databases; advice for determining user needs for data manipulation and storage; selection of an appropriate database; installation and configuration of the selected database; the administration, care and feeding of the database; security and disaster recovery issues; and special considerations when integrating a database with the Internet.
In addition to the above material, there is in-depth analysis of the programming issues involved, appendices for each covered database, command summaries and examples of schema and coding to address commonly encountered problems.
