About this title

Synopsis

This is the second edition of "From Data to Database" and represents a major revision of the text. Like the first edition, it aims to provide an excellent introduction to databases, with specific emphasis on data analysis and data modelling. Changes have been made and new material added throughout the text. Issues of semantics and constraints are addressed and a new chapter considers implementation and exploitation issues, including the SQL89 standard language for relational databases. The important subjects of object orientation and knowledge bases are covered; new examples and exercises have been added throughout and a new feature of this edition is the addition of selected answers to problems. This introduction to databases through data analysis and data modelling aims to give an excellent grounding in the subject to readers from a range of backgrounds.
