Database: Models, Languages, Design presents the traditional topic in database theory, and can be used as a self-study by database practitioners who are familiar with the relational technology and want to learn about object-oriented and deductive models. The author conveys a clearer introduction than competing books through his organization of the material and explanations of the concepts. Presentation and style differ from existing books, most notably in the emphasis on generic concepts rather than the specifics of the existence of commercial products. The book is divided into three parts: Part I, Database Models and their Access Models; Part II, Disk Storage Management; and Part III, Database Design.
This text presents the traditional topics of a first undergraduate Computer Science course in database theory in a thorough manner. The author conveys a clearer and more comprehensive introduction to database theory than competing books through his organization of the material and explanations of the concepts. The author describes five database models which represent current practice (the relational model), future trends (the object-oriented and deductive models), and past experiences (the network and hierarchical models). It is intended as a text for a first undergraduate database course as well as for self-study by database practitioners. A solutions manual will be available.
