This item has been replaced by Fundamentals of Database Systems, 5/E.

Fundamentals of Database Systems has become the world-wide leading textbook because it combines clear explanations of theory and design, broad coverage of models and real systems, and excellent examples with up-to-date introductions and modern database technologies. This book has been revised and updated to reflect the latest trends in technological and application development. This fourth edition expands on many of the most popular database topics, including SQL, security, and data mining along with an introduction to UML modeling and an entirely new chapter on XML and Internet databases.

The market-leading text for both a first and follow-on database course.

Features an extensive table of contents that includes basic topics (modeling, diagrams, relational algebra/calculus, SQL, normalization) and advanced object database, toning, mining, XML, and security.

Famous for its clear and complete writing style.

Renowned for its combinational theory, examples, and exercises which provide the foundational knowledge on topics.

Covers advanced modeling in the areas of active, temporal, and spatial databases.

Provides coverage of issues on physical database design and tuning.

Discusses current database application areas of GIS, genome, and digital libraries.

Presents a clear and complete discussion of the relational approach, including modeling, design, algebra and calculus, and query languages.

Each new copy comes with free access to Addison-Wesley's Database Place. Database Place helps students master the key concepts of all database courses. It includes online tutorials that help students with their mastery of modeling, SQL, and data normalization. Each tutorial asks students to solve problems (such as writing an SQL query, drawing a diagram, or normalize a relation), and then provides useful feedback based on the student's solution.

Provides new and expanded PowerPoints for professors.

Now covers both the traditional ER model and UML when discussing data modeling.

Includes updated material on SQL, including a new chapter, which discusses topics from SQL programming including SQLJ, JDBC, and ODBC.

Applies ideas from the book to a fully developed case study that uses a step-by-step database design and implementation for a bookstore application.

Offers updated coverage of security and database tuning.

Features a new chapter on the relationship of XML and Internet databases keeps students on the edge of database technology.

Includes a new chapter on data mining.

Brief Description | Buy from myPearsonStore

Clear explanations of theory and design, broad coverage of models and real systems, and an up-to-date introduction to modern database technologies result in a leading introduction to database systems.

With fresh new problems and a new lab manual, students get more opportunities to practice the fundamentals of design and implementation. More real-world examples serve as engaging, practical illustrations of database concepts. The Fifth Edition maintains its coverage of the most popular database topics, including SQL, security, data mining, and contains a new chapter on web script programming for databases.
