This easy-to-read textbook/reference presents a comprehensive introduction to databases, opening with a concise history of databases and of data as an organisational asset. As relational database management systems are no longer the only database solution, the book takes a wider view of database technology, encompassing big data, NoSQL, object and object-relational, and in-memory databases. The text also examines the issues of scalability, availability, performance and security encountered when building and running a database in the real world. Topics and features: Presents review and discussion questions at the end of each chapter, in addition to skill-building, hands-on exercises Introduces the fundamental concepts and technologies in database systems, placing these in an historic context Describes the challenges faced by database professionals Reviews the use of a variety of database types in business environments Discusses areas for further research within this fast-moving domain Suggests a structure for a potential university course in the preface With its learning-by-doing approach, supported by both theoretical and practical examples, this clearly-structured textbook will be of great value to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of computer science, software engineering, and information technology. Practising database professionals and application developers will also find the book an ideal reference that addresses today's business needs. 410 0$aUndergraduate Topics in Computer Science,$x1863-7310 606 $aDatabase management 606 $aInformation storage and retrieval 606 $aData structures (Computer science) 606 $aSoftware engineering 606 $aDatabase Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I18024 606 $aInformation Storage and Retrieval$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I18032 606 $aData Structures and Information Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I15009 606 $aSoftware Engineering/Programming and Operating Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I14002 615 0$aDatabase management. 615 0$aInformation storage and retrieval. 615 0$aData structures (Computer science) 615 0$aSoftware engineering. 615 14$aDatabase Management. 615 24$aInformation Storage and Retrieval. 615 24$aData Structures and Information Theory. 615 24$aSoftware Engineering/Programming and Operating Systems. 676 $a005.73 700 $aLake$b Peter$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0400326 702 $aCrowther$b Paul$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437593403321 996 $aConcise Guide to Databases$92523306 997 $aUNINA
