I am plowing my way through this book, and I must say that it appears to be impressive from an abstract, mathematical point of view, but I don't understand it!! I have been programming with PHP/MySQL for a few years, getting along ok, but in need of some theory behind my efforts.

I purchased this book to get a good grasp on the theory behind database systems, which I use in my regular work. In terms of content, it's all here.

SQL and Relational Theory is devoted to relational theory and explaining why SQL is not relationally complete. Author will guide you through various topics from the relational modeling and show how SQL is limited in a way.
