Summary: A MUST-READ IN CLIENT/SERVER BOOKS!
Review: This is a great reference to understand the client/server database model and some brief data warehouse architecture. I really appreciate the author's vision to see the system building like a "industrial factory" involving world-class manufacturing concepts like Just-In-Time, Success Circles, etc. It's a new perspective of the system life-cycle. Covers very well aspects of relational database concepts, not focusing on a single vendor, with finance and manufacturing concepts. Anyone who was to understand client/server computing MUST READ IT. I didn't find any similar book in the market. Very professional.
