Logic and Databases - The Roots of Relational Theory (Paperback)

Logic and databases are inextricably intertwined. The relational
model in particular is essentially just elementary predicate logic,
tailored to fit the needs of database management. Now, if you're a
database professional, I'm sure this isn't news to you; but you
still might not realize just how much everything we do in the
database world is - or should be! - affected by predicate logic.
Logic is everywhere.
So if you're a database professional you really owe it to yourself
to understand the basics of formal logic, and you really ought to
be able to explain (and perhaps defend) the connections between
formal logic and database management. And that's what this book is
about. What it does is show, through a series of partly independent
and partly interrelate essays, just how various crucial aspects of
database technology-some of them very familiar, others maybe less
so- are solidly grounded in formal logic. It is divided into five
parts:
*Basic Logic
*Logic and Database Management
*Logic and Database Design
*Logic and Algebra
*Logic and the Third Manifesto
There's also a lengthy appendix, containing a collection of
frequently asked questions (and some answers) on various aspects of
logic and database management. Overall, my goal is to help you
realize the importance of logic in everything you do, and also- I
hope- to help you see that logic can be fun.
