内容简介

This title is based on an earlier book by the same authors, Foundations for Future Database Systems: The Third Manifesto. It is on database management, and is organized around a proposal for a foundation for data and database management systems (DBMSs). It can be seen as an abstract blueprint for the design of a DBMS and the language interface to such a DBMS. In particular, it serves as a basis for a model of type inheritance. The authors combine precision and thoroughness of exposition with the approachability that readers familiar with their previous publications will recognize and welcome. This book is essential reading for database students and professionals alike.
