Description: Describes how the use of parallel processing technology in the next generation of Database management Systems (DBMSs) has made it possible to meet new challenging requirements. Database technology in rapidly expanding new application areas brings with them challenges such as the increased functionality and the efficient handling of very large heterogeneous databases. The objective of this book is to review the latest techniques in parallel relational databases. It emphasizes techniques for achieving high performance in parallel database systems. The text is structured according to the overall architecture of a parallel database system. Its nine chapters present a number of state of the art techniques that can be adopted in the design of parallel database software and hardware execution environments. These techniques can directly or indirectly lead to high-performance parallel database implementation.
