Overview

Feature

• Balanced coverage of theory and application - this book contains thorough coverage of theory and applied database design and implementation throughout. For example, relational algebra and SQL are both presented, and normalization is discussed both by formal definition and by examples. Theory provides the deep understanding that survives changes in technology, while practice provides the skills students need for employment and further exploration.

In addition to the core topics, the book covers database security, concurrency control, recovery, query optimization, distributed databases, internet-based systems, XML, data warehouses, and data mining.
• Each chapter begins with learning objectives and ends with a chapter summary that emphasizes the key points. Exercises follow each chapter, and hands-on lab exercises will be provided on the companion website whenever appropriate.
• Code for real-life database management systems including Access, Oracle, and InterSystems Cache provide practice with relational, object-relational, and object-oriented systems. Code appears in the text and will be on the website, so students can download and run it immediately.
