Book Description:
Database Management Systems provides comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of the fundamentals of database systems. Coherent explanations and practical examples have made this one of the leading texts in the field. The third edition continues in this tradition, enhancing it with more practical material.
The new edition has been reorganized to allow more flexibility in the way the course is taught. Now, instructors can easily choose whether they would like to teach a course which emphasizes database application development or a course that emphasizes database systems issues. New overview chapters at the beginning of parts make it possible to skip other chapters in the part if you don't want the detail.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Ramakrishnan is Professor of Computer Science at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and a founder and CTO of QUIO. He is a Fellow of the ACM.
Minos Garofalakis is a Member of Technical Staff at the Internet Management Research Department of Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies. He received his BSc in 1992 from the Computer Engineering and Informatics Dept. of the University of Patras (UOPCEID). He also spent the following year at UOPCEID as a post-graduate fellow. In the Fall of 1993, he joined the graduate program in Computer Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he received his MSc (1994) and PhD (1998). He joined Bell Labs in Murray Hill, NJ, in September 1998.
Johannes Gehrke is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Cornell University. He joined Cornell after completing his PhD at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1999.
Johannes' research lies in the areas of data mining, database systems, and ubiquitous computing. The recipient of an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship, a National Science Foundation Career Award, an IBM Faculty Award, and the Cornell College of Engineering James and Mary Tien Excellence in Teaching Award, Johannes is the author of numerous publications on data mining and database systems. Johannes isthe co-author of the textbook Database Management Systems'' (current in its third edition), published by McGrawHill in 2002, which is used at universities all over the world.
