Fifty years of relational.

Its hard to believe the relational model has been around now for over half a century!

But it has -- it was born on 19 August 1969, when Codds first database paper was published.

And Chris Date has been involved with it for almost the whole of that time, working closely with Codd for many years and publishing the very first, and definitive, book on the subject in 1975.

In this books title essay, Chris offers his own unique perspective (two chapters) on those fifty years.

No database professional can afford to miss this one of a kind history. But theres more to this book than just a little personal history.

Another unique feature is an extensive and in depth discussion (nine chapters) of a variety of frequently asked questions on relational matters, covering such topics as mathematics and the relational model; relational algebra; predicates; relation valued attributes; keys and normalization; missing information; and the SQL language.

Another part of the book offers detailed responses to critics (four chapters).

Finally, the book also contains the text of several recent interviews with Chris Date, covering such matters as RM/V2, XML, NoSQL, The Third Manifesto, and how SQL came to dominate the database landscape.
