Introduction to Databases by Peter Revesz

Introduced forty years ago, relational databases proved unusually succe- ful and durable. As a result, specialized database systems now proliferate trying to capture various pieces of the database market. The information retrieval systems were followed by database systems, which added even more structure to the data and made querying easier.

From the reviews:

“Offers an introduction to modern databases… In this well-organized book, the presentation is simple and easy to understand. As a result, students will find this introductory textbook useful. Furthermore, they will benefit from its numerous illustrative examples, exercises, and bibliographic notes. … The book offers an interesting perspective into the many specialized databases that are currently in existence--something virtually no other book on the market offers. … In short, I strongly recommend it to readers who are interested in databases.” (S. V. Nagaraj, ACM Computing Reviews, February, 2011)

“A book that covers all the modern turns and directions that databases have taken in recent years. … Overall, this is a very valuable addition to the database textbook literature. The author claims that the primary audience for this book are undergraduates, but I believe that it can and will reach beyond that level of database education.” (Gottfried Vossen,Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1191, 2010)
