About the Book

The undergraduate material in this book has been updated and split off into a separate text entitled Database Systems: An Application-Oriented Approach, Introductory Version . This smaller text is offered at a lower price. See http://aw-bc.com/info/kifer for a description. The 2nd edition of the complete book, Databases and Transaction Processing: An Application-Oriented Approach, Full Version , is expected in Spring 2005. All chapters will be updated to the latest developments in the field. New material will be added on UML, OLAP and Data Mining, and Deductive Databases. In addition, the book will have new chapters on Database Tuning and Web Services.
