## Description

Database Management Systems, 3rd Edition: 9780072465631: Computer Science Books @ desertcart.com

Review: Comprehensive and Practical - I'm a "practitioner", not a student. I've worked as a DBA and a developer and have some graduate education in Computer Science, so maybe I'm not in the target audience. I never formally studied databases and I bought this book because I was considering taking a course for which this was the textook. I just read the book, instead. Cover to cover. I think this is a fantastic book for self study. I've seen a lot of textbooks but I have never seen one that explains the internals of a database management system so well. It also explains DBMS's from the point of view of an application developer. The book is light on theory but not patronizing. The most important aspects of normalization theory are actually explained very well. There are also good survey chapters on many research topics like Spatial Databases and Object/Relational Databases. Most things are explained very well and I found the book quite readable.
Review: About Database management Systems textbooks - I am Professor in computer science at University of Paris Sud and I have been teaching databases for 15 years at different levels: undergraduate and graduate. Obviously I do not use only one book. In general I use Abiteboul&Hull&Vianu as well as Ullmann's principles of database systems second edition for theorical aspects, Ullmann&Widom (A first course in database systems) for an introductory course, for concurrency control and recovery: Bernstein&Goodman&Hadzilacos. For database tuning aspects I use Shasha's Database tuning. but I found Ramakrishnan&Gehrke's book one of the most complete and detailed book on the subject. I completely rely on it for teaching system issues of database systems. It is a very good textbook.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comprehensive and Practical
*by B***A on December 6, 2009*

I'm a "practitioner", not a student. I've worked as a DBA and a developer and have some graduate education in Computer Science, so maybe I'm not in the target audience. I never formally studied databases and I bought this book because I was considering taking a course for which this was the textook. I just read the book, instead. Cover to cover. I think this is a fantastic book for self study. I've seen a lot of textbooks but I have never seen one that explains the internals of a database management system so well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Misleading copyright page
*by M***T on February 4, 2011*

So I've basically reversed this review. You might look at the copyright page and notice that at the bottom, just above the copyright, it says 'INTERNATIONAL EDITION ISBN 0-07-115110-9' despite what it says on the back cover. They ALL say this. I think what happened is that the publisher just reused the copyright page of the Int'l Ed. Other than that, the cover is nice, the pages are sort of glossy and not at all newspapery, and the text is crisp: three good signs that you don't have an int'l edition in general.
