### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    If You're Ready for Something Different
  

*by S***2 on Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2011*

If you're already an experienced database guy and ready to open your mind to what could have been, then this is a great book. The author really knows his stuff and knows that he has a tough task of getting you to think the way a RDMS would work if it were designed with the original vision in mind. My advice is to do most of the exercises in each chapter before moving on. You'll definitely have deeper insight when finished.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Good material, awful editing
  

*by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2006*

The material is interesting, C.J. Date tries to go beyond the practicality of SQL and back to fundamentals of relational theory.  He makes interesting points about NULL, duplicate values and such, but this assumes a fair level of familiarity with SQL (viz. you use SQL on a regular basis).I find the editing poor in that the author very often states that some point is explained in later chapters or later in a given chapter.  While this is fine once or twice, it quickly becomes tiresome and frustrating; to many forward references.This book is not quite a theory book (light on the math side) but a book to be read nonetheless as it delves into matters seldom found in database books (at least the mainstream crop).
