Database component ware
Bernhard Thalheim · 2003
Database modeling is still a job of an artisan. Due to this approach database schemata evolve by growth without any evolution plan. Finally, they cannot be examined, surveyed, consistently extended or analyzed. Querying and maintenance become very difficult. Distribution of database fragments becomes a performance bottleneck. Currently, databases evolve to huge databases. Their development must be performed with the highest care.
