Description for Constraint Databases
Hardback. This text surveys the field of constraint databases. Constraint databases bring techniques from a variety of fields, such as logic and model theory, algebraic and computational geometry, as well as symbolic computation, to the design and analysis of data models and query languages. Num Pages: 428 pages, 6 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: UMC; UMX; UNS. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 25. Weight in Grams: 807.
This book is the first comprehensive survey of the field of constraint databases. Constraint databases are a fairly new and active area of database research. The key idea is that constraints, such as linear or polynomial equations, are used to represent large, or even infinite, sets in a compact way. The ability to deal with infinite sets makes constraint databases particularly promising as a technology for integrating spatial and temporal data with standard re lational databases. Constraint databases bring techniques from a variety of fields, such as logic and model theory, algebraic and computational geometry, as well as symbolic computation, ... Read more
