New Book - Database, Second Edition

DATABASE: PRINCIPLES, PROGRAMMING, AND PERFORMANCE, SECOND EDITION by Patrick O'Neil, Elizabeth O'Neil Morgan Kaufmann Publishers, April 2000, ISBN 1-55860-438-3 This second edition relies on the same successful approach that distinguished the first: it covers the principles of database theory with unmatched thoroughness, and it rigorously links theory to the real world of database programming and administration. A careful discussion of SQL standards and a multitude of examples drawn from actual databases-Oracle, DB2, and Informix-complements the authors'concept -oriented instruction, allowing you to develop product-specific understanding and to learn the important differences between the SQL dialects that will enable you to write portable applications.
