About the Book

This book is the fourth in a series. Like its predecessors, the book consists of a collection of papers on various aspects of relational technology. A special feature of the book is Part I, Theory Is Practical! which consists of the first 25 installments of Chris Date's popular column "According to Date" from Database Programming & Design magazine. Other important chapters include four collaborative efforts (three with David McGoveran and one with Hugh Darwen) describing the results of some significant new research into database design, integrity, view updating, and a proposal---"The Third Manifesto"---for an object-oriented/relational rapprochement. The book also includes the text of a debate between Chris Date and E.F. Codd on the handling of missing information, and an interview that Chris Date gave to Data Base Newsletter in 1994. 0201824590B04062001
