Résumé
initial publication. The seventh edition continues to focus on the hallmark feature of its previous editions: providing a
solid grounding in the foundations of database technology and giving some ideas of how the field is likely to develop in
the future. Emphasizing insight and understanding rather than formal theory, Chris Date has divided the book into six
parts: Basic Concepts, The Relational Model, Database Design, Transaction Management, Further Topics, and
Object and Object/Relational Databases. This comprehensive introduction to databases, written by a leader in the
field, has been thoroughly revised to reflect the latest developments and advances in the field of database systems.
Features:
- Material on the relational model completely rewritten
and expanded, especially the sections on types (domains),
relation values vs.
relation variables, integrity, predicates and views
- Chapter on object/relational databases, as well as
greatly improved treatment of object-oriented
databases
- Material on relation-valued attributes,
denormalization, orthogonal design and alternative
approaches to semantic modeling
(including "business rules")
- Chapters on type inheritance, decision support and
temporal databases
- Three appendices cover SQL, SQL3 (the latest version of
SQL) and frequently used abbreviations and acronyms
- Improved and expanded coverage of views and security issues
