Description
A comprehensive introduction to databases is presented in this updated and expanded textbook, which covers both theoretical and practical elements. The book takes a wider view of database technology, encompassing various types such as relational, big data, NoSQL, object, and in-memory databases. It examines the issues of scalability, availability, performance, and security encountered when building and running a database in the real world, providing hands-on exercises to help readers develop their skills. The book also reviews the use of different databases in business environments and discusses areas for further research within this fast-moving domain. Suitable for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of computer science, software engineering, and information technology, as well as practising database professionals and application developers, this textbook provides a learning-by-doing approach supported by both theoretical and practical examples.
