I think you must be talking about the book, "Object-Oriented Systems 
Analysis" by Schlaer and Mellor.  This WAS primarily a DB analysis book,
but it is not the book that started this topic.  The book in question here
is "OOA - Object-Oriented Analysis" by Peter Coad and Edward Yourdon.  You
couldn't have read it several months ago because the first copies are
being distributed by Prentice-Hall this week.  I went to Coad's tutorial
at OOPSLA last week and glanced at a draft of the book, and it is a 
"recommender".

I posted more detailed comments on the book/methodology on this newsgroup
last Thurday.
