Rezensionen

'Although there have been a series of classical textbooks on database systems, the new dramatic advances call for an updated text covering the latest significant topics, such as big data analytics, No-SQL and much more. Fortunately, this is exactly what this book has to offer. It is highly desirable for training the next generation of data management professionals.' Jian Pei, Simon Fraser University, Canada
