UML Database Modeling Workbook

UML Database Modeling Workbook

With our appetites for data on the rise, it has become more important than ever to use UML (Unified Modeling Language) <br />to capture and precisely represent all of these data requirements. Learn how to construct UML data models by working <br />through a series of exercises and self-assessment tests. Beginners can learn the UML directly. Experienced modelers can <br />leverage their understanding of existing database notations, as the book extensively compares the UML to traditional data modeling (Information Engineering). <br /><ol> <br /> <br /><li>Discover a new way of representing data requirements and communicating better with your business customers. <br /></li><li>Understand what UML constructs mean and how to properly use them. <br /></li><li>Learn subtleties of the UML. Become a power UML developer. <br /></li><li>Practice constructing data models with the exercises. The back of the book answers every exercise. <br /></li><li>Assess your mastery of the material. Each part has a multiple-choice test that can quantify your understanding. <br /></li><li>Improve your ability to abstract - think about different ways of representation - as you construct data models. <br /></li><li>Measure the quality of your data models. <br /></li><li>Be able to create database designs (DDL code) starting from a UML data model. <br /></li><li>Be able to write SQL database queries using a data model as a blueprint. <br /></li><li>Know the differences among operational models, data warehouse models, enterprise models, and master models. They are all aspects of data modeling. <br /></li></ol> <br />This book is concise and to the point. You will learn by induction through reading, practice, and feedback. <br />
