Features: Three well-known computer scientists at Stanford University—Hector Garcia-Molina, Jeffrey D. Ullman, and Jennifer Widom—have written one of the most comprehensive books on database system implementation. Hector Garcia-Molina pioneered Database System Implementation at Stanford as a second database systems course for computer science majors and industry-based professionals. It focuses on the implementation of database systems, including storage structures, query processing, and transaction management. This book is valuable as an academic textbook or a professional reference. This text covers a broad spectrum of knowledge and technology. This carefully class-tested, highly readable presentation provides students or professionals with the next level of study. Written from the point of view of the database designer, user, and application programmer, this book provides practical advice from well-known experts on how to implement state-of-the-art database systems.
The "Classics Original Edition Library" series of books was developed in response to the Ministry of Education's call to use original foreign textbooks in higher education. It is tailored for computer teaching in domestic universities. After extensively soliciting and listening to the opinions of the series' "Expert Advisory Committee," more than 30 textbooks with moderate content and in-depth explanations were ultimately selected. Most of them have been adopted by world-renowned universities such as M.I.T., Stanford, U.C. Berkeley, and C.M.U. The series not only covers core courses commonly offered in computer science programs at domestic universities, such as programming, data structures, operating systems, computer architecture, databases, compiler principles, software engineering, graphics, communications and networks, and discrete mathematics, but also each book has its own unique features—some written by language designers, some enduring for three decades, and some adopted by hundreds of universities worldwide. Under the guidance of these masterpieces by renowned scholars, readers will surely progress from entering the hall to mastering the palace of computer science. This book is one of them.
