Features: This book is a summary and accumulation of the author's many years of teaching experience, refined over years of effort, with every word and sentence, and every piece of material, carefully considered. The author continuously receives feedback from peers and students during the use process, striving to find the best content organization and explanation methods. The book has now been published in its 5th edition, not only including the content of traditional textbooks such as E-R models, relational models, SQL, relational normalization, transactions, and distributed databases, but also incorporating new developments in the field, such as Web database development, e-commerce, and data warehouses, truly deserving the title of a "model that keeps pace with the times." The entire writing process is like how years of water flow shape a smooth river stone. In Chapters 1-5, the book explores database and design concepts, integrating them as a unified whole in Chapter 6 under the system analysis framework. Chapters 7 and 8 demonstrate the design process of a real, fully implemented database. Chapter 9 discusses transaction management and concurrency control within a larger system framework. Chapter 10 focuses on distributed database management systems. Chapter 11 provides an in-depth discussion of object-oriented databases. Chapter 12 covers an in-depth exploration of client/server systems. Chapter 13 delves into data warehouses in detail, analyzing how their functions affect design issues. Special problems encountered in Internet database environments are discussed in Chapters 14 and 15. Database management issues are addressed in Chapter 16. This book is suitable as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in computer science and related fields, as well as a reference for database researchers and developers.
