Description
* Covering the traditional database system concepts from a systems perspective, this book addresses the functionality that database systems provide as well as what algorithms and design decisions will best implement their functionality
* Describes what Java tools and techniques will best help developers build an application that uses a database system
* Contains a fully functional database system that allows readers to examine and modify the code

Person
Edward Sciore is an Associate Professor in the Computer Science Department at Boston College. He received his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1980, and has been studying and teaching about database systems ever since. He is the author of numerous research articles about database systems. His favorite activity, however, is to teach database courses to college students. These teaching experiences, accumulated over a 25-year period, are what led to the writing of this book.
