From the Publisher: Database Systems: Design, Implementation, and Management, Fifth Edition is the only book that takes students step-by-step through the entire process of database development and creation. This text provides the most comprehensive, detailed, and clear coverage of database basics, with ample exercises and problems at the end of each chapter to encourage hands-on learning.
Most relational database designs resolve many-to-many relationships by creating an additional table that contains the PKs from both of the other entity tables—the relationship becomes an entity; the resolution table is then named appropriately and the two FKs are combined to form a PK.
The migration of PKs to other tables is the second major reason why system-assigned integers are used normally as PKs; there is usually neither efficiency nor clarity in migrating a bunch of other types of columns. Relationships are a logical connection between different tables, established on the basis of interaction among these tables.
Often procedures can be used to greatly reduce the amount of information transferred within and outside of a system. For increased security, the system design may grant access to only the stored procedures and not directly to the tables.
Fundamental stored procedures contain the logic needed to insert new and update existing data. More complex procedures may be written to implement additional rules and logic related to processing or selecting the data. A relational database has become the predominant type of database. Other models besides the relational model include the hierarchical database model and the network model. The table below summarizes some of the most important relational database terms and the corresponding SQL term:.
A relation is defined as a set of tuples that have the same attributes. A tuple usually represents an object and information about that object. Objects are typically physical objects or concepts.
A relation is usually described as a table, which is organized into rows and columns. All the data referenced by an attribute are in the same domain and conform to the same constraints.
The relational model specifies that the tuples of a relation have no specific order and that the tuples, in turn, impose no order on the attributes. Applications access data by specifying queries, which use operations such as select to identify tuples, project to identify attributes, and join to combine relations.
Relations can be modified using the insert , delete , and update operators. New tuples can supply explicit values or be derived from a query. Similarly, queries identify tuples for updating or deleting. Tuples by definition are unique. If the tuple contains a candidate or primary key then obviously it is unique; however, a primary key need not be defined for a row or record to be a tuple.
The definition of a tuple requires that it be unique, but does not require a primary key to be defined. Because a tuple is unique, its attributes by definition constitute a superkey. In a relational database, all data are stored and accessed via relations. Relations that store data are called 'base relations', and in implementations are called 'tables'. Other relations do not store data, but are computed by applying relational operations to other relations.
These relations are sometimes called 'derived relations'. In implementations these are called 'views' or 'queries'. 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.
The second half of the book provides in-depth coverage of databases from the point of vi An Introduction to Database Systems. Continuing in the eighth edition, An Introduction to Database Systems provides a comprehensive introduction to the now very large field of database systems by providing a solid grounding in the foundations of database technology while shedding some light on how the field is likely to develop in the future.
This new edition has been rewritten and expanded to stay current with database system trends
