This database theory book provides a focused presentation of the core material on relational databases, and presents a number of advanced topics in a unified framework. Some of the advanced material has never before been presented in book form. The style is rigorous, with detailed proofs and many exercises. The text and numerous examples highlight the intuition underlying the development. As a textbook, the book is aimed at graduate students and seniors who would use it as the main text in a database theory course, or as complementary material in a database systems course. It can also serve as a reference for database researchers and for other computer scientists interested in databases.
