DESCRIPTION:
Virtually everyone who deals with relational databases should have at least a passing understanding of the fundamentals of working with relational models.Author C.J. Database in Depth: The Relational Model for Practitioners goes beyond the hype and gets to the heart of how relational databases actually work.Ideal for experienced database developers and designers, this concise guide gives you a clear view of the technology--a view that's not influenced by any vendor or product. Date has been involved with the relational model from its earliest days. This book sheds light on the principles behind the relational model, which is fundamental to all database-backed applications--and, consequently, most of the work that goes on in the computing world today.

"totally solid" according to Forrest L. Norvell. This book is more or less exactly what it claims to be: a solid theoretical grounding in the relational model targeted at working software developers and database programmers. It combines concise explanations with explorations of pragmatic concerns, and includes genuinely useful exercises at the end of each chapter.
