    Database Technology

Written in a very accessible style by three well-known computer scientists, this reference provides practical insights--from the points of view of the database designer, user, and application programmer--on how to implement state-of-the-art database systems. Exceptionally comprehensive and broad in scope, it explores the implementation of database systems in depth--including storage structures, query processing, and transaction management.
