A software developer’s hands-on guide to database systems
Combining an eminently readable style with a practical approach, Edward Sciore’s Database Design and Implementation introduces you to database systems from a software developer’s perspective. In its pages, you will learn how to use a database and how to develop one of your own.

Presenting only the essential algorithms and techniques that most clearly illustrate the issues discussed, the book covers such topics as data design and manipulation; integrity and security; memory and record management; metadata; query processing and optimization; integrity and security; indexing, and more.

With numerous hands-on exercises and such tools as SimpleDB, Database Design and Implementation will give the self-studier as well as the traditional student an ideal introduction to the world of database systems.
Edward Sciore is an Associate Professor in the Computer Science Department at Boston College.
