Summary: Spurious Tuples?
Review: Having taken classes from Dr. Johnson for 7 years at Western Washington University (http://www.cs.wwu.edu), I was fortunate to have seen early drafts of the first part of the book. It was complicated and hard to understand then, but the book seems to have polished out all the rough spots. I use this book frequently. It's the best database theory book I have read. Dr. Johnson is a very elegant writer and I enjoy reading his text as much as learning (re-learning) important concepts of Database theory and modeling. -Jeff Wandling System Architect, Real Networks
