This book sheds light on the principles behind the relational
model, which is fundamental to all database-backed
applications--and, consequently, most of the work that goes on in
the computing world today. "Database in Depth: The Relational Model
for Practitioners" goes beyond the hype and gets to the heart of
how relational databases actually work.
Ideal for experienced database developers and designers, this
concise guide gives you a clear view of the technology--a view
that's not influenced by any vendor or product. Featuring an
extensive set of exercises, it will help you:
understand why and how the relational model is still directly
relevant to modern database technology (and will remain so for the
foreseeable future)
see why and how the SQL standard is seriously deficient
use the best current theoretical knowledge in the design of
their databases and database applications
make informed decisions in their daily database professional
activities
"Database in Depth" will appeal not only to database developers
and designers, but also to a diverse field of professionals and
academics, including database administrators (DBAs), information
modelers, database consultants, and more. Virtually everyone who
deals with relational databases should have at least a passing
understanding of the fundamentals of working with relational
models.
Author C.J. Date has been involved with the relational model
from its earliest days. An exceptionally clear-thinking writer,
Date lays out principle and theory in a manner that is easily
understood. Few others can speak as authoritatively the topic of
relational databases as Date can.
