Web Databases with Perl John A. Timon and Stephen K. Sandlos 2000 | 350 pages ISBN: |
DESCRIPTION
The three key areas of creating a powerful and flexible Web database—conceptual schema design, schema implementation, and Common Gateway Interface (CGI) programming—are explained in detail in this guide, as is the process of using Perl to combine them. In addition, enough Structured Query Language (SQL) instruction is provided so that users will be able to administer and query any SQL compliant database.
The principles of database optimization are explained early on so that those principles can be applied to the database as it is being created. One database development example runs through the entire book to provide a consistent progression. Several case studies that cover the full scope of the Web database creation process are also included.
