| Summary |
"This book provides essential core material for most higher education and commercial courses on database systems. The aim is to present a balanced treatment of the issues involved in modern database technology and in the development of new database systems." "After two introductory chapters that deal with basic definitions and concepts, the book is organised in several parts. Part I: Data Models describes contemporary architectures for database systems; Part 2: Database Management examines the major elements of a relational database management system and reviews two current commercial systems; Part 3: Database Development presents techniques used in the design and implementation of database systems; while Part 4: New Developments considers new approaches for databases, such as parallelism and intelligent databases." "The book contains strong coverage of object-oriented principles and the emergence of SQL standards and the text is fully supported by many exercises, with suggested solutions."--BOOK JACKET |
