This book provides a concise but comprehensive guide to the
disciplines of database design, construction, implementation, and
management. Based on the authors' professional experience in the
software engineering and IT industries before making a career
switch to academia, the text stresses sound database design as a
necessary precursor to successful development and administration of
database systems. The discipline of database systems design and
management is discussed within the context of the bigger picture of
software engineering. Students are led to understand from the
outset of the text that a database is a critical component of a
software infrastructure, and that proper database design and
management is integral to the success of a software system.
Additionally, students are led to appreciate the huge value of a
properly designed database to the success of a business enterprise.
The text was written for three target audiences. It is suited for
undergraduate students of computer science and related disciplines
who are pursuing a course in database systems, graduate students
who are pursuing an introductory course to database, and practicing
software engineers and information technology (IT) professionals
who need a quick reference on database design. Database Systems: A
Pragmatic Approach, 3rd Edition discusses concepts, principles,
design, implementation, and management issues related to database
systems. Each chapter is organized into brief, reader-friendly,
conversational sections with itemization of salient points to be
remembered. This pragmatic approach includes adequate treatment of
database theory and practice based on strategies that have been
tested, proven, and refined over several years. Features of the
third edition include: Short paragraphs that express the salient
aspects of each subject Bullet points itemizing important points
for easy memorization Fully revised and updated diagrams and
figures to illustrate concepts to enhance the student's
understanding Real-world examples Original methodologies applicable
to database design Step-by-step, student-friendly guidelines for
solving generic database systems problems Opening chapter overviews
and concluding chapter summaries Discussion of DBMS alternatives
such as the Entity-Attributes-Value model, NoSQL databases,
database-supporting frameworks, and other burgeoning database
technologies A chapter with sample assignment questions and case
studies This textbook may be used as a one-semester or two-semester
course in database systems, augmented by a DBMS (preferably
Oracle). After its usage, students will come away with a firm grasp
of the design, development, implementation, and management of a
database system.
