| Abstract: | This book has been written specifically to support the following audiences: Advanced undergraduate students and postgraduate students should find the combination of theoretical and practical examples database usage of interest. We imagine this text would be of particular relevance for modern Computer Science, Software Engineering, and Information Technology courses. However, any course that makes reference to databases, and in particular to the latest developments in computing will find this text book of use. As such, University Instructors may adopt the book as a core text. Especially in Part II, this book adopts a learning-by-doing approach, with the extensive worked examples explaining how to use the variety of databases available to address today’s business needs. Practicing Database Professionals, and Application Developers will also be able to use this book to review the current state of the database domain. |
| Description: | Databases are not new and there are many text books available which cover various database types, especially relational. What is changing, however, is that Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) are no longer the only database solution. In an era where Big Data is the current buzzword and Data Scientists are tomorrow’s big earners, it is important to take a wider view of database technology. Key objectives for this book include: • Present an understanding of the key technologies involved in Database Systems in general and place those technologies in an historic context • Explore the potential use of a variety of database types in a business environment • Point out areas for further research in a fast moving domain • Equip readers with an understanding of the important aspects of a database professional’s job • Provide some hands-on experience to further assist in the understanding of the technologies involved |
