Sinopse:
The first chapters make the book’s ambition clear: it opens with Background and Overview, then moves into A Survey of the Relational Model and Toward a Theory of Types. If you are trying to understand why relational databases are still debated at the level of first principles, this book starts exactly where those arguments become precise. From there, the contents shift into formal prescriptions and proscriptions, with chapters on RM Prescriptions, RM Proscriptions, OO Prescriptions, and OO Proscriptions, plus a full chapter on Tutorial D. That structure signals a work that is not just describing databases, but setting out a disciplined model, contrasting it with object-oriented assumptions, and spelling out what the authors consider acceptable design rules. The result is a dense, theory-driven textbook for readers who want more than implementation advice. Its value lies in the systematic treatment of the relational model, type theory, and inheritance, with exercises and extended discussions that reward careful study and make the book useful as both a reference and a serious technical course text.
