"The book is intended as a primer to those data-processing professionals who wish to embark on a career in database processing, and it provides a comprehensive treatment of principles and practice of databases at a level suitable for such experienced newcomers. The subject is covered as a series of topics, each to a chapter, and each written by an expert in that topic. This has helped to bring together a wealth of knowledge and experience which would be difficult to match in a book written by a single author. In addition, the chapters are largely self-contained, and therefore can be read in isolation."
