Object-oriented database technology is an important direction and hotspot in the development of database technology in recent years. Currently, research in this field has been actively carried out in China, but it has not yet been reflected in textbooks, making it urgent to have relevant teaching materials. This book comes as a timely solution. Based on the mainstream database of the time—relational databases, with the fundamental content of database systems—database design and programming as its focus, and featuring the latest achievements in the field of databases—such as object-oriented database technology, this book systematically elaborates on database modeling, the theory and design of relational databases, structured query language SQL and its new standards SQL2 and SQL3, as well as new content like recursive queries. It especially dedicates considerable to explaining the object definition language (ODL) and object query language (OQL) of object-oriented databases. The main features of this book are its novelty, richness, systematic approach, and practicality, quickly reflecting the latest achievements in database technology into the teaching material.
