Product Description

Product Description

For Database Systems and Database Design and Application courses offered at the junior, senior and graduate levels in Computer Science departments.

  • Written by well-known computer scientists, this accessible and succinct introduction to database systems focuses on database design and use.
  • The authors provide in-depth coverage of databases from the point of view of the database designer, user, and application programmer, leaving implementation for later courses. It covers the latest database standards: SQL: 1999, SQL/PSM, SQL/CLI, JDBC, ODL, and XML, with broader coverage of SQL than most other texts.

5.0 out of 5 stars A modern approach to database, 2 Oct 2008
By A. J. HAWKEN "Tony Hawken" (London - UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I first came across this book in 1999. I was putting together some notes for a course I was teaching for both HNC and HND students.

Much of the material I could not use - it was too modern for the course I was teaching. I was teaching a database course where the relational model dominates. In this book, the starting point is the object model and database modelling with OODL. However, most of the book talks about the relational model. initially it talks about how to convert object-oriented designs into relational designs. I particularly liked the example database designs, some of which I adapted for the course I was to teach. In particular there was a beer database and also a movies database - these, I thought would appeal to most students.

There are a number of course sites at Stanford University. Here they make full use of the book. In addition you can obtain course-notes and slides that follow the material in the book. This book is a must for your library if you have any significant interest in database.
