Some basics of Database Systems。 Useful parts for me were:- in Chapter 9 "Relational Mapping， DB design， - in Chapter 5 about "Relational model concepts， constraints aaand - in Chapter 3 "Data modeling using the Entity Relationship"。 Some basics of Database Systems。 Useful parts for me were:- in Chapter 9 "Relational Mapping， DB design， - in Chapter 5 about "Relational model concepts， constraints aaand - in Chapter 3 "Data modeling using the Entity Relationship"。 。。。more

A little bit old approaches， but the book gives very good fundamentals for those who haven't got a clue of how database systems are administered/created/supported and many more！ A little bit old approaches， but the book gives very good fundamentals for those who haven't got a clue of how database systems are administered/created/supported and many more！ 。。。more

Quite extensive， giving a pretty complete picture of Database Systems that is useful also in a professional context。 But it has a lot of glaring errors and way too much filler text。 It also loves to repeats itself。 A more concise and focused version would be nice。

Just awful。 Difficult to read and understand。 Written as though you are either a mathematician or computer technician。 As someone who is used to working in the front end of databases and trying to learn the back-house operations， this book was useless。 I read some of the sections to a person who works in database systems， he didn’t understand what the book was saying either。 The chapters were also out of order: if you the chapters numerically， you first build a database， then you diagram it base Just awful。 Difficult to read and understand。 Written as though you are either a mathematician or computer technician。 As someone who is used to working in the front end of databases and trying to learn the back-house operations， this book was useless。 I read some of the sections to a person who works in database systems， he didn’t understand what the book was saying either。 The chapters were also out of order: if you the chapters numerically， you first build a database， then you diagram it based on your needs。。。。 putting the cart before the horse there， don’t you think？ I’m not kidding: diagramming your design for your database is chapter 7。 They have a diagram of how the book is structure on preface page xii: it looks like a diamond with a bunch of zigzags in it。It was more helpful for me to just learn from class instruction and use the book as a doorstop。 。。。more

I recently had a chance to read the sixth edition of this book （I wonder where I can find an entry for that particular edition so that I could have written a review for that explicitly）。 This is a brilliant book。 It takes the reader from ground up， without assuming any prior knowledge of the subject domain。 The authors start off with general descriptions of database systems， their history， and evolution， and gradually introduce the relevant topics。 Treatment of relational algebra， basic SQL， dat I recently had a chance to read the sixth edition of this book （I wonder where I can find an entry for that particular edition so that I could have written a review for that explicitly）。 This is a brilliant book。 It takes the reader from ground up， without assuming any prior knowledge of the subject domain。 The authors start off with general descriptions of database systems， their history， and evolution， and gradually introduce the relevant topics。 Treatment of relational algebra， basic SQL， data analysis techniques， entity relationship diagrams and normalization are particularly interesting。 Moreover， other topics such as indexing， block storage mechanisms， query optimization， query trees and distributed database systems are also presented in an extremely lucid vernacular。 。。。more

I'm reading this for my intro to database management class。 This book shouldn't be anywhere near an intro course。 Maybe somewhere after the second course， it would be fine。 Instead of explaining the basic concepts first and building up。 It hits one with super detailed descriptions down to the most minute detail， which for a beginner does nothing as most of the time you don't even know what the book is referring to， and get tired of looking up references to completely unnecessary technical ideas。 I'm reading this for my intro to database management class。 This book shouldn't be anywhere near an intro course。 Maybe somewhere after the second course， it would be fine。 Instead of explaining the basic concepts first and building up。 It hits one with super detailed descriptions down to the most minute detail， which for a beginner does nothing as most of the time you don't even know what the book is referring to， and get tired of looking up references to completely unnecessary technical ideas。 All teachers out there， find a simpler book to start with。 This book would be great for someone that knows the basics and wants to take things to a super detailed level。 。。。more

Read select sections。 The writing is tedious。 It is not very readable。 Reader has to spend a lot of time cross-referencing illustrations with text。 Spends a lot of time on formalism and examples but doesn't do a very good job contextualizing or motivating the content。 The textbook suffers from feature creep。 There are 7 editions and they probably could have stopped after the first。 Many of the paragraphs feel like "updates" and reading continuity suffers as a result。 Feels like a money grab。 If Read select sections。 The writing is tedious。 It is not very readable。 Reader has to spend a lot of time cross-referencing illustrations with text。 Spends a lot of time on formalism and examples but doesn't do a very good job contextualizing or motivating the content。 The textbook suffers from feature creep。 There are 7 editions and they probably could have stopped after the first。 Many of the paragraphs feel like "updates" and reading continuity suffers as a result。 Feels like a money grab。 If you assign this book for a class， go for an older and cheaper edition。The writing is too wordy: "this is what we will write about"。。。 "this is what we are writing about"。。。 "this is what we just wrote about"。 "The definition of X， sometimes called Y or Z is blah blah"。。。 "when we perform X （sometimes called Y or Z） blah blah"。。。 "blah blah Z"。 It also repeats much of the content。 I have to resist the urge to skim because the writing is so tiresome。 。。。more

This book covers a lot of ground in database concepts and techniques。 However， by the time I read this edition， the seventh edition was already up with some important updates on concepts such as object oriented databases， hadoop and more。

i teach my student the first part of this book 。。 the way it is written is so simple that you can understand it by yourself without any help 。。。 but there is no many examples for the lesson

A *very* dry theory on databases containing no practical information whatsoever。 It helped me to ace relational algebra and database theory exam， but for anything else I wouldn't recommend it for anyone。 A *very* dry theory on databases containing no practical information whatsoever。 It helped me to ace relational algebra and database theory exam， but for anything else I wouldn't recommend it for anyone。 。。。more
