Architecture of a Database System (Foundations and Trends(R) in Databases)
Database Management Systems (DBMSs) are a ubiquitous and critical
component of modern computing, and the result of decades of research and
development in both academia and industry. Architecture of a Database
System presents an architectural discussion of DBMS design principles,
including process models, parallel architecture, storage system design,
transaction system implementation, query processor and optimizer
architectures, and typical shared components and utilities. Successful
commercial and open-source systems are used as points of reference,
particularly when multiple alternative designs have been adopted by
different groups. Historically, DBMSs were among the earliest
multi-user server systems to be developed, and thus pioneered many
systems design techniques for scalability and reliability now in use in
many other contexts. While many of the algorithms and abstractions used
by a DBMS are textbook material, Architecture of a Database System
addresses the systems design issues that make a DBMS work.
Architecture of a Database System is an invaluable reference for
database researchers and practitioners and for those in other areas of
computing interested in the systems design techniques for scalability
and reliability that originated in DBMS research and development.
