new area with lot of research scope

My heartful thanks to the author for the book in this area. The revised edition may include new focuses in the current areas like workflow management.

A MUST-READ IN CLIENT/SERVER BOOKS!

This is a great reference to understand the client/server database model and some brief data warehouse architecture. I really appreciate the author's vision to see the system building like a "industrial factory" involving world-class manufacturing concepts like Just-In-Time, Success Circles, etc. It's a new perspective of the system life-cycle. Covers very well aspects of relational database concepts, not focusing on a single vendor, with finance and manufacturing concepts. Anyone who was to understand client/server computing MUST READ IT. I didn't find any similar book in the market. Very professional.
