I have used this book only a few times and the binding is already falling apart. I may start losing pages soon. Very disappointing for an expensive book.

1.0 out of 5 stars paper back is worthless
Reviewed in the United States on 8 October 2011

buy the hard cover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the paperback is falling apart only after one months use. I'm not even kidding. I bought it brand new too. What a waste of money. The hard cover isn't as thick (and has the same material...don't ask me how). The paper back also comes in 2 annoying editions as opposed to one.

The material is probably the same as any other DB book, its good and explains everything well.

but remember.......BUY THE HARD COVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! YOU'LL THANK ME L8R...well if u never had the pleasure of the paper back i guess u wont but w.e

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Introductory Text on Database Systems
Reviewed in the United States on 24 February 2008
Verified Purchase
This book is the required text for a graduate course in database systems. We covered about 80% of in the class. At well over 1000 pages, the book has a lot of information. The chapters are written well. A running case study is presented throughout this book as an example. Most of the chapters are easy to read although it does get dry at times. Some of the chapters were very complex and highly theoretical especially the one on normalization (chapter 6) which perhaps only academics will care to know enough about. Chapters on XML, database indices, query processing, distributed databases and data mining are excellent. This isn't a book you can read in a weekend. It will take a few months to read and assimilate all the concepts presented here but after you are done, you will have a very strong background in this area. Overall I enjoyed the book very much. A broad spectrum of topics with enough detail is provided. Highly recommended for novices and intermediate users alike.

4.0 out of 5 stars Okay for some theory stuff but the actual SQL stuff ...

Okay for some theory stuff but the actual SQL stuff should have been a much larger deal in this book, for students in a Databases class. Get it if you absolutely have to for a class but otherwise just learn your SQL online.
