Synopsis

Of the many introductory books on database technology, none are as pragmatic or as broadly useful as Database: Principles, Programming, Performance. In this second edition, authors O'Neil and O'Neil offer a thoroughly up-to-date look at today's most critical database technologies, including established relational products and the emerging object-relational model. Throughout, the focus is on the programming, implementation, and optimisation techniques that developers and administrators need to know to enjoy rapid, regular advancement in the information technology field. This book will appeal not only to the academic and corporate training market, but also to new and aspiring professionals, including data analysts seeking a reliable, practical desktop reference.
