Product Description
Product Description
Fundamentals of Database Systems has become the world-wide leading textbook because it combines clear explanations of theory and design, broad coverage of models and real systems, and excellent examples with up-to-date introductions and modern database technologies. This book has been revised and updated to reflect the latest trends in technological and application development. This fourth edition expands on many of the most popular database topics, including SQL, security, and data mining along with an introduction to UML modeling and an entirely new chapter on XML and Internet databases.
From the Back Cover
Fundamentals of DATABASE SYSTEMS, Fifth Edition
Ramez Elmasri, University of Texas at Arlington
Shamkant B. Navathe, Georgia Institute of Technology
ISBN 0-321-36957-2
“Fundamentals of Database Systems is a leading example of a database text that approaches the subject from the technical, rather than the business perspective. It offers instructors more than enough material to choose from as they seek to balance coverage of theoretical with practical material, design with programming, application concerns with implementation issues, and items of historical interest with a view of cutting edge topics.”
–Henry A. Etlinger, Rochester Institute of Technology
“This is an outstanding, up-to-date database book, appropriate for both undergraduate and graduate courses. It contains good examples, and clearly describes how to design good, operable databases as well as retrieve and manipulate data from an existing database.”
–Peter Ng, The University of Texas - Pan American
With clear explanations of theory and design, broad coverage of models and real systems, and an up-to-date introduction to modern database technologies, Elmasri and Navathe’s text continues to be the leading introduction to database systems. Current, practical examples keep readers engaged while new end-of-chapter exercises and a new lab manual provide hands-on experience building database applications with modern technologies like Oracle®, MySQL®, and SQLServer®.
This Fifth Edition stays fresh with coverage of the latest, most popular database topics, including:
- Mobile databases, GIS and Genome Databases under emerging applications
- Database Security
- A new chapter on Web script programming for databases using PHP

It is a very good book for readers who have no prior knowledge of databases. The writers have arranged the chapters in a very systematic manner that enables you to gradually get a grasp of the subject. In fact the book would also prove good for readers who may have worked on DBMS softwares but not really knowing the "theory of databases". Excellent book for developing your database concepts - concepts that go a long way. A perfect book to be used as a text book in schools. The section on "Design Techniques" is something you would find yourself refering back to even when you're implementing real world systems.

Format:Hardcover
I originally purchased this book for a class in database design. It's one of the few books I go back to. It has a lot of theory and depending if you are looking for something purely practical it may not be the best choice. But if you want to learn the reasons behind the rules or like having as much detail as you want then this is a great book. I have designed databases with it as my primary reference. I think every serious data modeler should have read it.

Textbook - OK but dull and not always practical.
Some useful information but poor presentation and a dull read.
Basically just another database textbook with nothing in particular to recommend it. Read more

A must if you want to design a database
A very nice book, clear and with nice examples. It's not so simple but gives you the basic and advanced concepts that a person need to design and implement a database. Read more

A lot of knowledge, but sometimes to abstract
As a student just started studying computer science, and knowing nothing about relational databases, I think that the author use to much mathematics to explain simple relations... Read more
