Relational Theory for Computer Professionals · What Relational Databases Are Really All About

This book shows you what a real relational product would be like, and how and why it would be so much better than whats currently available. Most books try to use SQL as a vehicle for teaching relational theory, but this book deliberately takes the opposite approach. Its primary aim is to teach relational theory as such. Then it uses that theory as a vehicle for teaching SQL, showing in particular how that theory can help with the practical problem of using SQL correctly and productively.
