Preface

This book introduces the fundamental concepts necessary for designing, using, and implementing database systems and database applications. Our presentation stresses the fundamentals of database modeling and design, the languages and models provided by the database management systems, and database system implementation techniques. The book is meant to be used as a textbook for a one- or two-semester course in database systems at the junior, senior, or graduate level, and as a reference book. Our goal is to provide an in-depth and up-to-date presentation of the most important aspects of database systems and applications, and related technologies. We assume that readers are familiar with elementary programming and data-structuring concepts and that they have had some exposure to the basics of computer organization.

New to This Edition

The following key features have been added in the sixth edition:

Picture 3 A reorganization of the chapter ordering to allow instructors to start with projects and laboratory exercises very early in the course

Picture 4 The material on SQL, the relational database standard, has been moved early in the book to to allow instructors to focus on this important topic at the beginning of a course

Picture 5 The material on object-relational and object-oriented databases has been updated to conform to the latest SQL and ODMG standards, and consolidated into a single chapter ()

Picture 6 The presentation of XML has been expanded and updated, and moved earlier in the book to

Picture 7 The chapters on normalization theory have been reorganized so that the first chapter () focuses on the formal theories and normalization algorithms

Picture 8 The presentation of database security threats has been updated with a discussion on SQL injection attacks and prevention techniques in , and an overview of label-based security with examples

Picture 9 A new on information retrieval techniques has been added, which discusses models and techniques for retrieval, querying, browsing, and indexing of information from Web documents; we present the typical processing steps in an information retrieval system, the evaluation metrics, and how information retrieval techniques are related to databases and to Web search

The following are key features of the book:

Picture 10 A self-contained, flexible organization that can be tailored to individual needs

Picture 11 A Companion Website ( http://www.aw.com/elmasri ) includes data to be loaded into various types of relational databases for more realistic student laboratory exercises

Picture 12 A simple relational algebra and calculus interpreter

Picture 13 A collection of supplements, including a robust set of materials for instructors and students, such as PowerPoint slides, figures from the text, and an instructors guide with solutions

Organization of the Sixth Edition

There are significant organizational changes in the sixth edition, as well as improvement to the individual chapters. The book is now divided into eleven parts as follows:

Picture 14) includes the introductory chapters

Picture 15 The presentation on relational databases and SQL has been moved to to allow instructors to start SQL projects early in a course if they wish (this reordering is also based on a study that suggests students master SQL better when it is taught before the formal relational languages)
