Agile Database Techniques : Effective Strategies for the Agile Software Developer

One of the places data can be stored is a relational database. Relational databases store data in a table of rows and columns, and are used in traditional business applications such as banking transactions and inventory control. This title concerns strategies for using agile database software.

Ambler extends the agile techniques used by programmers to the realm of database development. He explains an agile model-driven development (AMDD) approach that bases application code and database schemas on agile models, presents a database refactoring technique for improving database design in small steps, and explores strategies for implementing concurrency control and referential integrity, and finding objects in relational databases.
