    Not very usefulThis book was a required textbook for my graduate database course. The theory that was presented was accurate, but was unnecessarily bogged bown with mathmatical representations of even the basic concepts and some material was somewhat dated. More real-world examples of the concepts would have been useful. I don't recommend buying this book unless it is required for a course - there are many other database-oriented resources available that would be more readable. 3Four StarsGood information. 4More confusing than usefulThis textbook was required for my COP 4722, Survey of Database Systems class and I have to say this book provided no help to me in passing the course. The author wrote this text in a manner that makes the subject extremely dull, tedious and boring. Often, I would have to re-read a sentence 3 times just to get the jist of what he's trying to explain. The concepts are poorly explained and the examples are lousy. To be honest, after a month or so into the course, I gave up on the text completely and relied entirely on my notes, online/internet help and the professor's powerpoint/lectures. In my whole 4 years of attending an university, this was the only class that I earned a C in(which is the lowest grade I've ever gotten). I can't blame the textbook entirely because the professor was not exactly the best at teaching. Lets just say that after the drop date, less than 25% of the students remained. 1Four StarsGood for beginners 4Good Theory BookI found the book to be excellent complementary material for the examination I was preparing to take. The book is well-organized, thorough, and extensive on theory although a bit light on the practical aspects of databases. I purchased this book because Excelsior College recommended it as a study aid for the ICCP Data Resources certification examination. Nevertheless, if you are preparing for the ICCP exam you will still have to buy the Bird review or similar because of the way the exams are set up. 4Comprehensive, but with ErrorsOverall, this is a wonderful book for learning how databases work. It doesn't cover the code for all modern database wonders, but hits most of them. Best of all, it provides psuedo code showing how to implement your own methods. However, I did find errors with some of the code, in particular the sorted-merge join algorithm will miss records if the right-hand-side table has multiple matching fields. It was easy to correct, but a mistake on such a fundamental algorithm is hard to overlook. Worst, Pearson doesn't provide an easy-to-find errata site, so I couldn't report the bug or even see if there were others. Addison-wesley never had that problem. Reading this book will make any DBMS make sense under the hood. Finally, I take point away for wordiness. This books is overcomplicated and wordy and doesn't make itself useful to beginning developers. This book tries to be a history book and reference all in one and it can be overwhelming, even to someone who's written his own DBMS before. Half of the chapters seem like unnecessary chatter, just to take up some more pages to rake up the price . . . and what a price! 2Too old content to be useful....Too old....data bases change ...book not useful...refund necessary after content reviewed.... 1Good for School and database in generalThis is for someone who is very interested in database. maybe if you want to be a dba, system, or databasehouse analyst.Little bit old but very good. 4Great Resource! :)This is an excellent and thorough analysis of database processes involving transactions, concurrency control, security and covers relational tables, object-relational databases as well as object oriented technology. There is a thorough overview of UML as well as ER design tools. It is a tough read and covers a lot of material and is very theoretical but practical. Relational algebra and calculus are covered thoroughly. This is recommended for an advanced database course as it's coverage of SQL is coarse and cursory. Instead this book is intended more for a behind the scenes analysis of database technology. An excellent database course as a prerequisite for using this book would use Mannino's Database Design, Application, Development and Administration. Mannino's book has an excellent coverage of SQL and its applications. 4Highly theoreticalThis was a highly theoretical text on databases. It doesn't provide enough of a solid understanding of the SQL syntax. If you want practical knowledge about databases, this is definitely not the book for you.I initially tried to read this book for my databases class, and it does a good job of showing you how to envision a database in an academia-approved graphical format, but unfortunately, it doesn't do much for a person practically. Not enough coverage of SQL, too much on the theoretical and on trees and whatnot.And the only reason why I gave it two stars instead of one was because theoretical-part aside, it did an okay job of explaining some of the theoretical concepts. 2
