Database Concepts and Systems

Аннотация

This book has been written to specifically address the needs of students who wish to have a ready reference book, with real world examples, which covers Database Concepts and Systems. I've tried to write this book with a view that the students will one day evolve into programmers who will work in India's dynamic software development industry. As far as is practical, each chapter has two sections, concepts and how those concepts are applied to real world situations. All this is bound to ANSI SQL 92, which is the natural language of all RDBMS in the marketplace. I've tried to use my extensive application development experience in Oracle to produce this book that should cover most of the areas that seem to puzzle students as they work through their syllabus and grow from strength to strength. All the topics in the University syllabus have been covered. Concepts are built using simple language, examples have easily understood logic. I really hope that this book makes students as excited about RDBMS as I am. I'm proud to say that for the last 27 years the only environment that I've done any serious programming in is RDBMS. Most of the time I've used Oracle, this is truly my favorite RDBMS product. This foreword will not be complete without my thanking the many people who encouraged me and put up with the many revisions and updations of the manuscript with patience and tolerance.
