Features: This book is a summary and accumulation of the author's many years of teaching experience, refined over years of careful consideration. The author continuously gathers feedback from peers and students during its use, striving to find the best content organization and explanation methods. The book has now been published in its 5th edition, not only including traditional textbook content such as the E-R model, relational model, 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 embodying the spirit of "keeping pace with the times." The entire writing process is like how years of water flow shape a smooth pebble. Chapters 1-5 explore database and design concepts, integrating them into a larger framework in Chapter 6, the system analysis framework. Chapters 7 and 8 demonstrate the design process of a fully implemented, real-world database. Chapter 9 discusses transaction management and concurrency control within a broader 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 impact design issues. Special problems encountered in Internet database environments are discussed in Chapters 14 and 15. Chapter 16 addresses database management issues. 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.
