SQL: A Comparative Survey, 2nd Edition

SQL: A Comparative Survey is a companion to Hugh Darwen’s An Introduction to Relational Database Theory, best studied in parallel with that text. Closely following the structure of the theory book, it shows how the examples in that book can be expressed in SQL. SQL’s many deviations from relational database theory are thus exposed and their consequences discussed. Drawing on the author’s long experience as a member of the committee responsible for production of the ISO SQL standard, the book includes copious Historical Notes showing how SQL has evolved from its very beginnings in the 1970s.

Apache Cassandra Succinctly

Step outside the relational world and learn how to store data with Apache Cassandra, the massively popular NoSQL distributed database system.

Apache Cassandra is an open-source distributed database system noted for its consistency, its ability to run on commodity hardware, and its easy deployment to cloud infrastructure.

With Cassandra Succinctly by Marko Švaljek, you will learn the architecture behind Cassandra that makes it a reliable system, including how hashes are used to identify where data is stored, how choosing the right replication factor can enhance or hinder performance, and how the system handles updating and deleting data. By the end of the book, you will be able to store and model data using the Cassandra Query Language, and use Cassandra within your own applications.
