"Now in its seventh edition, Silberschatz, Korth, and Sudarshan's Database System Concepts is one of the cornerstone texts of database education. It presents the fundamental concepts of database management in an intuitive manner. Chapters 1 to 11 cover concepts and techniques needed to use databases, and to design and build applications. Chapters 12 to 23 cover concepts and techniques related to database internals, while Chapters 24 to 26 cover advanced material. Concepts are presented in a general setting that is not tied to one particular database system, but are annotated with details needed to enable hands-on exercises on specific database systems. Familiarity with basic data structures, computer organization, and a high-level programming language are the only prerequisites. The overall style of the prior editions has been retained, while the content and organization continues to evolve to reflect the major changes that have occurred in recent years."--Cover
