Over the past two decades, the theory concerning the logical level of database management systems has matured and become an elegant and robust piece of science. Foundations of Databases presents indepth coverage of this theory and surveys several emerging topics. Written by three leading researchers, this advanced text presents a unifying and contemporary perspective on the field. A major effort in writing the book has been to highlight the intuitions behind the theoretical development.

SynopsisThis product is a complete reference to both classical material and advanced topics that are otherwise scattered in sometimes hard-to-find papers. A major effort in writing the book was made to highlight the intuitions behind the theoretical development., A war hero returns to a secret baby surprise in this Slades of Sunset Ranch novel by "USA" TODAY bestselling author Charlene Sands Back from his tour of duty, wealthy Nevada rancher Justin Slade gets the shock of his life. The woman who shared his bed eighteen months ago is in his hometown with a son in tow...who looks just like Justin Katherine Grady is hiding a dark past, but when she realizes Justin seduced her under false pretenses, she's livid...even if she still finds him as irresistible as ever. Will their secrets keep them apart, or will her hero fight for what's his?, This is the most comprehensive book available on database theory. It is a complete reference to both classical material and advanced topics that are otherwise scattered in sometimes hard-to-find papers. A major effort in writing the book was made to highlight the intuitions behind the theoretical development.
