Product Description
Product Description
The book covers the most important requirements of teaching databases in a sharp and cleanly designed manner, and with a modular and progressive perspective. In fact, the whole book can be used for a full course (or pair of courses), but its first half can be profitably used for a shorter course.
From the Publisher
Comprehensive treatment, covering all of the current topics of importance (such as object oriented databases, active databases, data warehouses, database and the Web).

Format:Paperback
This book was purchased for an insight into databases preceeding a university course, and it works well in that arena. It gives a good in depth description of database techniques without becoming too bogged down with any particular DBMS, though different DBMS's are given space towards the end of the book. There are some strange formulae notations that seem to be unique to the authors but they are soon understood when the context is analysed. All in all a worthwhile purchase as a text book, but not for a detailed account of a particular DBMS. From the text it could be assumed that the authors appreciate European football.

Not related to any specific implementation, so don't expect to find mysql tricks or oracle tuning hints...this books explores the relational database theory that lies behind ANY rdbms (basic algebra, entity-relation, conceptual/logical/physical design, capacity planning, index structures, normalization, etc) in a simple, yet not-so-basic manner
One of the best IT books I have ever read , I just wish I had read it before putting my hands on real DBs.
It really amazed me to learn that this book has only two reviews on Amazon (both positive, though)....
A *must* for anyone serious about learning about relational database.

This is good book to learn OLAP servers. Although, starting 6 chapters are very basics but from 7th chapter onwards have good explanation for OLAP cubes and helped me a lot for designing OLAP servers.
Listmania!
