5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Book ! Must have
This is an extremely good book. I had this as the textbook for a very hard graduate Database course. Needless to say this book made it all easier. The concepts are very well explained, Illustrated with examples. I would recommend it to anyone who is planning to take a graduate level Database course.It is very hard to find except amazon.

Probably try another one "Database Mgmt Systems" by a UW...

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost complete. Very good., August 15, 2000
This review is from: Database System Implementation (Textbook Binding)
Very interesting, well written reading. The main problem is completeness: although some new topics are covered, other, more traditional, but fundamental, are not. One simple example: triggers.

Probably try another one "Database Mgmt Systems" by a UW Madison Professor. That one would be a lot better.
