世界中の大学のコンピュータサイエンス学科の講義で、「データベースシステム概論」の定番テキストとして長年にわたって活用され続けている名著です。ロングセラーとなっている理由は、「不動産業における不動産物件のデータベース管理システムの設計・実装と運用管理」という極めて身近なシステム要求事例に基づいて、集合理論・実体関連モデル (ERモデル)・データの正規化・三層スキーマ構造・分散データベース設計・オブジェクト指向データベース設計といったデータベース設計の基本原理から、ハードウェア(データベースサーバ・WEBサーバ)とデータベース管理システム(Oracle DB・Postgres)を使った実装とSQL言語による運用管理に至るまで、関係データベースシステムの構築作業のすべてを明快に解説してくれている点にあると強く感じます。著者はITベンダー企業からスコットランドの大学の研究者に転身した先生とあって、すべてのトピックを日常のビジネス生活における要求事例のみに基づいて検証し解説してくれているところに、徹底したイギリス経験論の流れを感じる本です。他のデータベースシステム関係の本においては「関係データベースの原理についての単なる用語解説やSQL言語のコマンド操作方法の単なるマニュアル集に終始してしまい、データベースシステムが実際のシステム要求に応えるためににどのような原理に基づいて設計され実装されて動いているのかという肝心な点が全く見えない。」といった内容のものが数多く見受けられますが、この本はそういった類のデータベース用語集的テキストとは一線を画しています。本書のタイトルがそのまま示している通り、「設計、実装、運用管理への実用的アプローチにもとづくデータベースシステム概論」です。かつて自動車製造系の関係データベースの立ち上げプロジェクトの仕事をしていた時に、この本の第2版から学んだ実体関連モデル (ERモデル)とSQL問い合わせについての知識スキルが、問い合わせたデータの出力結果の不整合という実課題の検証とデバッグ作業にその場で役立てることができたので非常に感謝しています。時代を経て版を重ねても、データベースを使って仕事をするエンジニア必携の基本書であり続けると思います。

This best-selling text introduces the theory behind databases in a concise yet comprehensive manner, providing database design methodology that can be used by both technical and non-technical readers. The methodology for relational Database Management Systems is presented in simple, step-by-step instructions in conjunction with a realistic worked example using three explicit phases―conceptual, logical, and physical database design.
The Fifth Edition brings Web and legal issues to the fore in two new chapters, Database Architectures and the Web and Professional, Legal, and Ethical Issues. Students are exposed not only to the foundational theory of databases but also to the most recent developments in the field.
This book is ideal for a one- or two-term course in database management or database design in an undergraduate or graduate level course. With comprehensive coverage, this book can also be used as a reference for IT professionals.

Verified Purchase - Mr. S. BaillieReviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 February 2012
5.0 out of 5 stars From the Authors Pupil
Verified PurchaseI am currently doing my Honours year in Web Development at UWS Paisley (Scotland).
Last year I borrowed the 4th edition of this book from the University Library to help with a Database Development module I had within my degree course. I found the book such an invaluable reference and learning book last year, that I decided to buy my own copy of the book this year (5th Edition).
I am now doing a Database Applications module this year and the book is a superb help.
I am very fortunate to have had one of the Author's - Mrs Carolyn Begg as my lecturer in Databases for the past 2 years.
Carolyn is an absolute authority on the subject, if she doesn't know about it in the field of databases then it's probably not worth knowing!
She is also one of the most pleasant, unassuming, witty and interested lecturers I personally have ever had the good fortune to have teach me. (I am now 48 years of age!)
I love this book and I am sure it will serve me long term, many years after leaving University.
I may even get her to sign my copy purely for posterity!
Go buy it now if you have a need to learn about databases.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Database book so far
Verified PurchaseFor school this was a great book. It was a required book and I thought it was going to get stuck in just teaching SQL or how to program in SQL. That was not the case. This teaches you how to think like a database admin, architect, user, .. etc. It covers all aspects you need to know about Databases and plus a little of the database languages out there. Yet its focus was to teach you how a and what a database and how to set one up and keep it functional.
