It focuses on the relational model and includes recent object-oriented developments such as SQL3 and ODMG. The authors provide coverage of the popular DBMS products, in particular the relational systems Oracle and Microsoft Access. They also address advanced modeling and system enhancements in the areas of active databases, temporal and spatial databases, and multimedia data models.
