Database System Implementation

Rating:
Summary: Very Satisfied
Review: Clear. Concise. Organized. Complete. Instructive

Rating:
Summary: Almost complete. Very good.
Review: Very interesting, well written reading. The main problem is completeness: although some new topics are covered, other, more traditional, but fundamental, are not. One simple example: triggers.

Rating:
Summary: Not a good buy
Review: We used this book for our graduate level course and the instructor(author) asked us to read the book. But there are
a lot of topics not well illustrated and explained. Some ideas
are confusing or totally wrong.
No need to mention so many typos. Chap 6 and Chap 7 are among the worst.
Probably try another one "Database Mgmt Systems" by a UW Madison Professor. That one would be a lot better.
