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.
