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 introduction to database systems offers a comprehensive approach, focusing on database design, database use, and implementation of database applications and database management systems.

The first half of the book provides in-depth coverage of databases from the point of view of the database designer, user, and application programmer. 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. The second half of the book provides in-depth coverage of databases from the point of view of the DBMS implementor. It focuses on storage structures, query processing, and transaction management. The book covers the main techniques in these areas with broader coverage of query optimization than most other texts, along with advanced topics including multidimensional and bitmap indexes, distributed transactions, and information integration techniques.

  • Discussion of the technologies used to connect database programming with C or Java code–Includes discussions of SQL/PSM, SQL/CLI, and JDBC.
    • Gives students practical advice on integrating state-of-the-art technologies with databases.

  • Coverage of advanced issues important to database designers and users.
    • Includes discussions of views, integrity constraints, assertions, triggers, transactions, authorization, and recursion in SQL:1999.

  • Relational modeling is covered in chapters 2-4.
  • Chapter 4 is devoted to high-level modeling, and includes the E/R model as well as UML (Unified Modeling Language).
  • The viewpoint of Chapter 3 - which focuses on functional and multivalued dependencies - has been modified, so that a functional dependency is now assumed to have a set of attributes on the right. Explicitly certain algorithms, including the “chase,” allow us to manipulate dependencies. The discussion of third normal form has been augmented to include the 3NF synthesis algorithm and to delineate the tradeoff between 3NF and BCNF.
  • Chapter 5 contains the coverage of relational algebra from the previous edition, and is joined by (part of) the treatment of Datalog from the old Chapter 10.
  • The discussion of recursion in Datalog is either moved to the book’s Web site or combined with the treatment of recursive SQL in Chapter 10 of this edition.
  • Chapters 6-10 are devoted to aspects of SQL programming, and they represent a reorganization and augmentation of the earlier book’s Chapters 6, 7, 8, and parts of 10. The material on indexes and views has been moved to its own chapter, number 8, and this material has been augmented with a discussion of important new topics, including materialized views, and automatic selection of indexes.
  • The New Chapter 9 is based on the old Chapter 8 (embedded SQL). It is introduced by a new section on 3-tiered architecture. It also includes an expanded discussion of JDBC and new coverage of PHP.
  • Chapter 10 collects a number of advanced SQL topics, including the nested-relation model, object-relational features of SQL, and data cubes.
  • Chapters 11 and 12, covering XML and XML-based systems, contain new and expanded material on modeling and programming, including XML schema, DTD's, XPath, XQuery, and XSLT.
  • Chapter 20, covering parallel and distributed databases, includes new sections on distributed query execution, the map-reduce framework for parallel computation, peer-to-peer databases and their implementation of distributed hash tables.
  • New sections on local-as-view mediators and entity resolution have been added to Chapter 21, which covers information integration.
  • The expanded data mining chapter includes material on association rules and frequent itemset mining, including both the famous A-Priori Algorithm and certain efficiency improvements. Key techniques of shingling, minhashing, locality-sensitive hashing, and clustering have been added.
  • An entirely new Chapter 23 addresses ways in which the Internet has impacted database technology through search engines and data-stream management systems.
