This introduction to database systems offers a readable comprehensive approach with engaging, real-world examples—users will learn how to successfully plan a database application before building it. The first half of the book provides in-depth coverage of databases from the point of view of the database designer, user, and application programmer, while the second half of the book provides in-depth coverage of databases from the point of view of the DBMS implementor. The first half of the book focuses on database design, database use, and implementation of database applications and database management systems—it covers the latest database standards SQL:1999, SQL/PSM, SQL/CLI, JDBC, ODL, and XML, with broader coverage of SQL than most other books. The second half of the book focuses on storage structures, query processing, and transaction management—it covers the main techniques in these areas with broader coverage of query optimization than most other books, along with advanced topics including multidimensional and bitmap indexes, distributed transactions, and information integration techniques. A professional reference for database designers, users, and application programmers.
