Database Systems: The Complete Book is ideal for Database Systems and Database Design and Application courses offered at the junior, senior and graduate levels in Computer Science departments. A basic understanding of algebraic expressions and laws, logic, basic data structure, OOP concepts, and programming environments is implied.

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.

    I used this book for a database class, and in spite of paying very little attention in the lectures, I got an A, primarily because this book is thorough and exactly dense enough: it doesn't drown you with detail but certainly makes you work to get concepts. This book taught me everything I know about databases, and several other people since then.

    They never said anywhere that it wouldn't work on my Kindle Paperwhite, so the book is totally useless to me! So annoying why in the heck does it matter what type of Kindle it is, seriously?

    I have this book in the print format, but I picked up the Kindle version to save my back and make room in my book bag. It has been well worth it, and being able to have all my textbooks in one place (Kindle) has been a real game changer for my studies.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Content is excellent, but presentation could use an update; be more visual.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    An excellent book on database systems, keyed for the beginner/novice. Some familiarity with databases and files is nice to have, but could be used as a first course book. The authors are all noted in their area, and the content is great...better than great, excellent. However, the overall presentation of the material -- the graphics and visuals -- are not nearly as well done as is possible (and standard) for today's top text books. More and better use of color, more case studies, and just in general better graphics/visuals would make this a much more effective (and fun) book. And that's the reason for the average rating...it's just average in its presentation and therefore its effectiveness as a text.

    this is a very expensive book, so I expect it with great content and great print/binding quality
    received the first with awful binding (first picture), very unhappy about it.
    contacted Amazon, they replaced it with a new book, but I found one table of content page is teared (second picture). don't want to contact Amazon again as it is worth the hassle.
