This section provides information on the readings for the course. Most readings are from the "Red Book," otherwise known as Readings in Database Systems. Supplemental readings are also presented in the table.



Textbooks


The course readings will primarily be drawn from the following books:

Red Book = Hellerstein, Joseph M., and Michael Stonebraker, eds. Readings in Database Systems. 4th ed. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2005. ISBN: 0262693143.

RG = Ramakrishnan, Raghu, and Johannes Gehrke. Database Management Systems. 2nd ed. New York, NY: McGraw-Hill, 2000. ISBN: 0072465352.

Note that the 3rd edition of Readings In Database Systems is a substantially different text (it does not include the same readings as the 4th edition).
