Features: This book breaks the convention of other database principles books to avoid discussing a specific database, and instead describes the backend large-scale database management system industry standard—Oracle, using it as a concrete example throughout the book to illustrate the aforementioned basic theories. Particularly, the book also covers Oracle's SQL, PL/SQL, and Oracle development tools. Therefore, it serves as a textbook for learning Oracle, based on C/S and B/S programming models, as well as improving DBA skills. From a practical perspective, the book provides a detailed explanation of database principles, database creation and management, and the role of database administrators. The book consists of twelve chapters and two appendices, thoroughly introducing the significance of databases, their origin and development, data models, entity-relationship models, relational databases, functional dependencies, and more.
