Constraint databases provide extra expressive power over relational
databases in a largely hidden way at the data-storage or physical
level. Constraints, such as linear or polynomial equations, are
used to represent large sets in a compact manner. They keep the
view of the database for a user or application programmer almost as
simple as in relational databases. "Introduction to Constraint
Databases" comprehensively covers both constraint-database theory
and several sample systems. The book reveals how constraint
databases bring together techniques from a variety of fields, such
as logic and model theory, algebraic and computational geometry,
and symbolic computation, to the design and analysis of data models
and query languages. Constraint databases are shown to be powerful
and simple tools for data modeling and querying in application
areas such as environmental modeling, bioinformatics, and computer
vision--that are not suitable for relational databases. Specific
applications are examined in geographic information systems,
spatiotemporal data management, linear programming, genome
databases, model checking of automata, and other areas. Topics and
features: *Offers a database perspective and a focus on simplicity
at the user level *Utilizes simple tools for determining whether
queries are safe or not *Incorporates scientist-supplied
descriptions of applications *Explains constraint databases from a
developer's viewpoint *Provides extensive exercise sets, and sample
software systems, that facilitate rapid learning of the topic
within a real-world software context This volume presents a
comprehensive introduction to the theory and applications of
constraint database systems, which provide new methods for the
design of data models and query languages. It is an essential
resource for advanced students, practitioners, and professionals in
computer science, database systems, and information systems."
