  This database theory book provides a focused presentation of the core
material on relational databases, and presents a number of advanced
topics in a unified framework.  Some of the advanced material has
never before been presented in book form.  The style is rigorous, with
detailed proofs and many exercises.  The text and numerous examples
highlight the intuition underlying the development.  As a textbook,
the book is aimed at graduate students and seniors who would use it as
the main text in a database theory course, or as complementary
material in a database systems course.  It can also serve as a
reference for database researchers and for other computer scientists
interested in databases.
  The book is published by Addison-Wesley and available wherever
technical books are sold.  To order the book directly from the
