Product Description

Book Description
The Fourth edition of Database System Concepts has been extensively revised from the 3rd edition. The new edition provides improved coverage of concepts, extensive coverage of new tools and techniques, and updated coverage of database system internals.

This text is intended for a first course in databases at the junior or senior undergraduate, or first-year graduate level. Database System Concepts, 4th ed. offers a complete background in the basics of database design, languages, and system implementations.

Concepts are presented using intuitive descriptions, and important theoretical results are covered, but formal proofs are omitted. The fundamental concepts and algorithms covered in Database System Concepts 4th ed. are based on those used in existing commercial or experimental database systems. The authors present these concepts and algorithms in a general setting that is not tied to one particular database system. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Database System Concepts is a GREAT book!!!, 28 April 2003

By	"d99ce" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Database System Concepts (Paperback)

Contrary to what is stated in the other review of this book I find it very useful. I suppose that guy is not interested in much more than how to write simple SQL in which case I can agree that there might be more extensive books...
However, if you are like me and want to know a little more than that this is a really good book on database system concepts. It explains how things work and why they work. The explanations of these concepts are supported by simple descrete mathematics notation. I really liked this book and I recommed this book to anyone who wants to know how databases work.

1.0 out of 5 stars Possibly the least accessible book ever, 2 Mar 2002

By	Cole Davis (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Database System Concepts (Paperback)

In spite of already having read several books on computer science generally, I was nonplussed by how the authors make such heavy weather of often relatively simple concepts. What is worse is the tendency to try to assist the reader with explanations couched as mathematical formulae; this merely bemuses many readers (I write this after consultation with several fellow students).

5.0 out of 5 stars Silberschatz is Superb., 17 Sep 2005

By	Tony Seaton (Midlands) - See all my reviews

From some of the final-year, honours-level content of my degree, to presenting database concepts to GCSE and A-Level students, I have found the information, presentation and readability of Silberschatz invaluable.

This is a must-have reference text for any serious student, teacher, lecturer or practitioner in the field.
