Appendix E. Suggestions for Further Reading
Here is a brief list of some books on database theory:
1.
Atzeni, P., and V. De Antonellis.
Relational Database Theory
. Benjamin
Cummings: 1993. (A highly theoretical and mathematical treatment of the
subject.)
2.
Codd, E. F.
The Relational Model for Database Management: Version 2
.
Addison-Wesley: 1990. (The classic exposition of the relational model by one of
its creators and chief proponents.)
3.
Date, C. J.
An Introduction to Database Systems
, 6th Edition. Addison-Wesley:
1995. (A less formal and highly readable book.)
4.
Simovici, D., and R. Tenney.
Relational Database Systems
. Academic Press:
1995. (This is a very mathematical treatment of the subject. Much better written
than the Atzeni and De Antonellis book.)
5.

Classical Database Systems
. Computer Science Press: 1988. (A book with a
somewhat different point of view. Not as mathematical as Atzeni or Simovici, but
more mathematical than Date.)
