Body in White, The: Developing a Database
- Synopsis
- Rover Group has to keep tight financial control of all the various stages in both the development of the final design and the subsequent full production of any model. Until 1989, the computer system only kept the cost of the white metal car body shell known as ‘the body in white’ as a single item, other items such as the gearbos and the wheels being parts. This film follows the implementation of a relational database system (Oracle). It is the interpretation of the conceptual data model that is the main focus of the programme.

- NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
