Summary

This introduction to the theory of databases presents the subject from the unique framework of constraint databases, which provides a natural and powerful generalization of relational databases. An important theme is how relational databases can be smoothly developed into constraint databases, allowing relational database users to easily leverage the power of constraint databases. The book addresses data models and queries; the theory of relational and constraint databases, including Datalog; and the relational calculus. It also discusses three sample constraint database systems, Disco, Dingo, and Rather.
