Summary

As more and more people turn to databases for both large systems and small web-based applications, misunderstandings arise about the precise meaning of terms like "join", "instantiation", "view", and others. Those misunderstandings can affect design and programming that lead to problems down the road. "The Relational Database Dictionary" provides a single source where designers, programmers, students, and database administrators (DBAs) can find precise definitions. Authored by C.J. Date, a respected expert who is widely regarded as the developer of relational database technology while at IBM, this pocket-sized dictionary is the definitive glossary of terms and concepts used with relational databases such as Oracle products, IBM's DB2, Microsoft's SQL Server, Microsoft Access, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. There is no other quick reference of this type available.

Author Biography

C. J. Date has a stature that is unique within the database industry. He is an independent author, lecturer, researcher, and consultant, specializing in relational database technology (a field he helped pioneer). He is best known for his books, especially his best-selling textbook An Introduction to Database Systems (8th edition published in 2004), which has sold nearly three quarters of a million copies and is used by several hundred colleges and universities worldwide.
