Features: This book is a fundamental textbook on the principles and technologies of database systems. It is divided into 14 chapters, with the first 8 chapters covering classic content in database systems, primarily introducing the basic concepts, principles, technologies, and methods in the field of database science. The next 4 chapters discuss distributed databases, object-relational databases, object-oriented databases, and XML databases. The last two chapters provide an overview of new technologies and disciplines in modern databases and one of the mainstream database application platforms—Oracle—as well as related database experiments. The authors have strived to integrate classic content with modern technologies in the writing process. The classic content is presented with a focus on logic and systematicity, while the discussions on cutting-edge technologies emphasize technical background and interconnections. Each chapter includes a summary of key points and is accompanied by a moderate number of exercises, making the book highly readable. Additionally, the book is supported by a study guide and teaching slides, available for teaching purposes. This book can serve as a foundational textbook for database systems and technologies courses in university computer science programs or related disciplines, as well as a reference for professionals and self-learners in the field.
