Foundation for Object / Relational Databases by C J Date

Foundation for Object / Relational Databases by C J Date

A study of the impact of objects on the relational database model. There are two camps for database development - relational which is predominant, and object which is growing. As the market grows there is an increased need for a universal system and this book offers the model for such a system.

This is the first attempt to describe what object/relational meansIf you're interested in object/relational technology, this is the book to read. - Rick van der Lans Independent consultant, author of Introduction to SQL, and past member of the Dutch committee responsible for developing the International SQL Standard This book is an excellent piece of work. It is very rare in computer science to come across a book that provides such a complete and precise theory that is systematically presented and compared to all of the other work in the area. Even those who find the conclusions controversial will admire this thoroughness. - Rick Cattell ODMG Chair, author of Object Data Management and JDBC Database Access with Java, and co-editor of the Object Database Standard: ODMG 2.0
