This book is based on the new SQL 99 standard and offers a complete view of the language, starting from its fundamental concepts and advancing to cover practical applications. Krishna Kulkarni's membership on the SQL standard ANSI and ISO committees ensures that the authors have detailed inside knowledge for developing a clear and exhaustive representation of the language's new version.
The book covers the new features in the language, such as object-oriented programming and extended data types. Useful for developers who want to keep up-to-date with the direction in which the SQL language is going, this book is also great for students, researchers and scientists who are interested in understanding and studying the new standard for inclusion in new products or for learning purposes.
