About Database Programming & Design


      Database Programming & Design is the magazine for managers, developers, and administrators of the enterprise data resource. Founded in 1987, Database Programming & Design features in-depth articles offering techniques, design methods, strategic insights, product analyses, and commentary by leading practitioners and technology experts in the field. Topics frequently covered include:
  • Data warehouse design and management
  • Data and business rule modeling
  • Development of large, distributed client/server database systems
  • Data mining and advanced database technology
  • Analysis and updates on important database products
  • Management and administration techniques for very large databases (VLDBs)
  • Object/relational database design practices
  • Java programming and standards updates
  • Internet/Intranet database design and management and electronic commerce
  • Enterprise architecture and reporting

      Recent and frequent authors include Barbara von Halle, Paul Winsberg, Colin White, C. J. Date, Alan Simon, Stephen Brobst, Richard Winter, Terry Moriarty, Tim Quinlan, and Jim Melton.
      Every December, Database Programming & Design produces a special supplement, Database Industry in Focus, which sums up the key market and technical directions of the industry. The centerpiece of this supplement is the prestigious editor's choice article, "The Database Dozen: The Twelve Most Influential Companies in the Database Industry."
      Database Programming & Design also develops and sponsors the Database Summit Series. The seven conferences to be held in 1998 offer an unrivaled educational opportunity to database professionals:
  • Data Mining Summit. This conference offers the opportunity to learn the techniques, methods, and tools that are driving the new age of business intelligence.
  • VLDB Summit. Immediately following the Data Mining Summit, this conference addresses management, administration, and development issues concerning very large database systems (VLDBs).
  • Windows NT Database Summit. The Windows NT Database Summit is the first and only independent conference to focus on how the NT phenomenon will affect your database enterprise. The conference addresses scalability and decision support as well as how the data mart and OLAP markets will look once Microsoft enters the fray.
  • Object/Relational Database Summit. This conference focuses on how managers, developers, and administrators can bring together object and relational technologies. The conference discusses in-depth the direction of database systems into extended relational and object/relational spheres. The conference explores new architectures for database systems based on components, the Internet, and object message passing middleware. Finally, it features practical sessions on marrying object-oriented applications to relational database servers.
  • Java Database Summit. Java is the most important development to hit application development in a decade. Database managers and developers need a solid foundation to exploit JDKs, JDBC, JSQL, and all the other caffeinated technologies. This seminar gets you up to speed on all things Java.
  • Decision Support Summit. Decision-support systems (DSS) are mission-critical for market-sensitive companies. DSS is also the focus of exciting activity at the intersection of OLAP, the Internet, data mining, and knowledge discovery. This conference offers a practical focus on the cutting edge of business intelligence technology.
  • Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Summit. The use of ERP applications to automate core business processes is rapidly spreading throughout large and now middle market enterprises, but they bring a new set of risks and challenges. If you are involved in choosing, implementing, maintaining, or managing an ERP deployment, the Enterprise Applications Summit will reveal effective strategies for successfully implementing ERP applications.
