Database Design and Implementation

This new first edition is designed for use in a two-course DB sequence; it can also be used in either the first or second DB course. The book essentially has two parts -- "how to use a database" and "how to build a database". The first half contains comprehensive coverage of how to build database applications in Java, including chapters on JDBC, JPA, XML, and Servlet development. The latter half focuses on the internals of a databse server and sophisticated techniques and algorithms for indexing, sorting, intelligent buffer usage and query optimization.
