Relational Database Systems provides a timely introduction to the type of systems that are the current mainstay of the database management field. This book serves as a text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as an informative reference for researchers and professionals in all database aspects of computer science. It presents important querying systems including SQL and QUEL, and covers their respective theoretical foundations in relational algebra, tuple calculus, and domain calculus.
The presentation of SQL adheres to the ANSI standard; however, the book discusses the most popular SQL dialects; a separate chapter covers imbedded SQL. The text also contains references to many significant relational database products, including INGRES, ORACLE, DB2, PARADOX, and SYBASE.
Relational Database Systems concentrates on those issues that are most relevant to database design and application development. Exercises that constitute important extensions of the material are provided at the end of each chapter. The book assumes a knowledge of programming languages and datastructures, and some mathematical induction.

This practical, hands-on tutorial/reference/guide to MySQL is perfect for beginners, but it also works for experienced developers who are not getting the most from MySQL. As you would expect, this book shows how to code all of the essential SQL statements for creating and working with a MySQL database. But beyond that, this book also shows how to design a database, including how to use the graphical MySQL Workbench to create an EER model. It shows how to take advantage of relatively new MySQL features such as foreign keys, transactions, stored procedures, stored functions, triggers, and events. It even presents a starting set of skills for a database administrator (DBA), including how to secure and back up databases. And like all Murach books, it uses the distinctive "paired pages" format, which breaks the material into manageable skills to speed up both learning and reference. A great help for MySQL users at any level.
