Editorial Review: Product Description: The Definitive Guide to Berkeley DB XML covers Sleepycat's Berkeley DB XML, an open source embedded XML database. Berkeley DB XML runs on all major operating systems and has support for the most popular programming languages. The book includes tutorials and complete language references for C++, Java, Perl, Python, and PHP. Berkeley DB XML has the potential to dramatically simplify the development of your application's data tier. With native XML storage, flexible indexing, and the powerful XQuery query language (think SQL for XML), BDB XML provides everything you need for efficient XML management. Combined with Berkeley DB's transactions, logging, and replication, BDB XML is a powerful document storage solution. Author Danny Brian presents XML basics from the ground up for XML beginners, and covers database installation and configuration, the core concepts behind Berkeley DB XML, a look at application architecture, demonstrations of simple operations (i.e., text queries) to complex (i.e., set computations) using XQuery and FLWOR expressions, document indexing options, and a thorough look at the database APIs. You'll learn tips and tricks that you can immediately apply to your own applications. Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Really, and I mean really really really, bad.I tend not to buy too many technical books because they are usually written by someone who had the time to write them not someone that knows anything. They are usually out of date, and quite often only tell you what you can find in man pages anyway. Still you sometimes pick up a few tips that you might save you a little time. I was somewhat surprised then to find, as I read through the myriad editing errors and appalling grammar in this 'book' that there wasn't actually ANY useful content at all. In fact if you don't know anything about databases or XML before you read this book, then you will take away some very strange ideas about data such as what is/should be repeating groups, why you use attributes and so. These will probably ... Read More: Rating:  - Great Techie book for Berkeley DBMr. Brian's new book on Berkely DB is a great resource for the beginner and expert alike. The book reads well with lots of examples and draws upon his real-world experience for this topic. Rating: - Excellent Resource for anyone interested in using XML to store dataDanny Brian writes in a very straight forward and very easy to understand method. The book works well as a training tool and has a resource for anything you could ever want to know on XQuery and Berkeley DB. Finally someone compiled the information on XQuery and put it in one easy to use resource as an appendix (Book is worth it just for this!). Book also has a great appendix for people just starting out in XML or even if you just need to brush up on your XML syntax. Even if you are not interested in Berkeley DB you will be by the time you read this! |
