Description

This book on Database Management Systems has been designed to provide an insight into the database concepts. A sincere effort has been made to present the concepts of database normalization, concurrency control, deadlock handling and recovery, etc., in a simple easy-to-understand manner. Since understanding of the query languages is vital for accessing of databases, a large number of queries have been provided to explain the equivalence between SQL, Relational Algebra, Tuple Relational Calculus and Domain Relational Calculus.
