This new book is an essential tool for utilizing the ANSI/ISO SQL outer join operation, and an indispensable guide to using this operation to perform simple or complex data modeling. It provides a comprehensive look at the outer join operation, its powerful syntax, and new features and capabilities that can be developed based on the operation 's data modeling capacity. With Advanced ANSI SQL Data Modeling and Structure Processing you're able to tap the full power of data structure extraction technology that gathers data structure meta information naturally embedded in ANSI/ISO SQL outer join specifications. Plus, you learn of existing, but previously unknown SQL capabilities for improving performance, saving coding time, simplifying design, and reducing debugging time. This book also: Supplies critical review of the semantics of data structure; Tells you how to perform multi-table outer joins and how to combine relational structures with heirarchical structures; Describes how to establish a default database standard or framework for data modeling. This is an essential resource for DB administrators, designers, and programmers working with SQL. It includes a glossary of SQL terms, and figures and database views to help you approach and simplify real-world challenges of SQL.
