Description

The notion of an "information systems engineer" reflects the modern idea of the systems development process as an engineering discipline, with its analysts, designers and implementors as professional engineers. This book attempts to define the practice and relevant theory associated with databases within an engineering framework. It treats database issues in an integrated and coherent manner rather than seeing them as isolated questions. Written both for engineering students and practising systems developers, the book includes a series of selected exercises with answers.

Table of Contents

  • Information systems and databases
  • A history of database technology
  • Principles of database management systems
  • The relational model of databases
  • SQL: a relational database language

  • Database system development
  • Conceptual analysis
  • Logical database design
  • Structural design
  • Physical design
