Review
"This book is appealing because of its comprehensiveness and state-of-the-art coverage of database topics. The examples used to explain concepts in each chapter are very realistic and useful for students." - Dr. Sudha Ram, University of Arizona

"Rob and Coronel have improved an already excellent text. This comprehensive text on database systems is a perfect fit for both undergraduate and graduate level introductory courses on database systems. The 6th edition offers new material on advanced SQL and data models, and maintains a wide range of application with multiple DBMS vendors. It is an ideal text for teaching relational and object-relational theory, and introducing students to transactional and decision support database environments. Students benefit greatly from the balance between theory and application presented in the text." - Samuel Conn, Regis University School for Professional Studies
