Book Description

This book delivers a thorough discussion of the foundations of the relational model of database design along with a systematic treatment of the formal theory for the model.

This book introduces you to the theory of relational databases, and SQL, focusing on the application of that theory to the design of computer languages that properly embrace it. The book is intended for those studying relational databases as a part of a degree course in Information Technology (IT).
