Other choices are books that merely provide a dictionary of commands, or that get into complicated solutions using particular programs. The excellent open formatting of this (short) book makes it a quick read as well as a good reference. After you've read this book you'll know the structure of SQL and enough basic commands ...             Spatio-Temporal Databases: Flexible Querying and Reasoning Springer, 2004 Spatio-Temporal Databases explores recent trends in flexible querying and reasoning about time- and space-related information in databases. It shows how flexible querying enhances standard querying expressiveness in many different ways, with the aim of facilitating extraction of relevant data and information. Flexible spatial and temporal reasoning denotes qualitative reasoning about dynamic changes in the spatial domain, characterized by ...             Scalable Uncertainty Management: First International Conference, SUM 2007, Washington, DC, USA, October ...

Linoff Wiley, 2007 A "Must Have" Reference for Analysts in All Fields Unlike textbooks related to stats and data analysis, this practical, "easy to read" book actually bridges the gap between theory and practice. The reader will understand both the "how" and "why" behind common approaches to data analysis. Best of all, the book targets a general audience and avoids intimidating language and notations. The author tackles the most common statistical concepts with ...             Querying XML, : XQuery, XPath, and SQL/XML in context (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data Management Systems) ...6 reviews Jim Melton, Stephen Buxton Morgan Kaufmann, 2006 A must for anyone working with XML I've been an XQuery developer for an academic press for a number of years, and I read this book cover to cover. It sets out to describe methods for querying and does so, in an almost scholarly fashion, for many common but different contexts. I found it provided cohesion to the diverse world of XML, from broad subjects to the details of spec grammars--a very welcome contribution to a technical ...             Inside Microsoft SQL Server 2005: T-SQL Querying (Solid Quality Learning)29 reviews Itzik Ben-Gan, Lubor Kollar, ... Microsoft Press, 2006 An excellent contribution to the "Inside-SQL" series This is the 2nd book of the 4 part "Inside-SQL" series, with each book I imagine, appealing to a different reader. Having a programming background, I enjoyed this book more than the first in the series ("The Storage Engine"), which on it's own is also an excellent book. As mentioned in other reviews, this book is definitely not for beginners. The authors assumes a basic level of SQL knowledge ...             High-Dimensional Indexing: Transformational Approaches to High-Dimensional Range and Similarity Searches ... Cui Yu Springer, 2002 In this monograph, we study the problem of high-dimensional indexing and systematically introduce two efficient index structures: one for range queries and the other for similarity queries. Extensive experiments and comparison studies are conducted to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed indexing methods. Many new database applications, such as multimedia databases or stock price information systems, transform important features or ...             Querying the Medieval: Texts and the History of Practices in South Asia Ronald B. Inden, Daud Ali, ... Oxford University Press, USA, 2000 Indologist Ronald Inden has in the past raised questions about the images of a "traditional" or "medieval" India deployed by colonial scholars and rulers--"Orientalists"--and has also argued that a history of "early medieval" India very different from both the colonial and nationalist accounts could be written. This volume is designed as an important first step towards that goal. The authors look closely at three genres of texts that have been ...             Music Query: Methods, Models, and User Studies (Computing in Musicology) The MIT Press, 2005 The field of music query has grown from tentative beginnings in bibliographical systems of earlier decades to a substantial area of interdisciplinary studies in little more than a decade. This volume assembles recent studies from Europe and North America concerned with the query and analysis of musical data. Among these, methods for the synchronization of sound and symbolic data, for automatic analysis through perceptual rules, and for computing ...             Querying Difference in Theatre History Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2007 Terms such as race, ethnicity, otherness, and pluralism are becoming increasingly problematic as we grapple with issues of identity in the post-multicultural discursive landscape of the twenty-first century.

James Clifford Cambridge University Press, 2004 This book discusses the connection between two areas of semantics, namely the semantics of databases and the semantics of natural language, and links them via a common view of the semantics of time. It is argued that a coherent theory of the semantics of time is an essential ingredient for the success of efforts to incorporate more 'real world' semantics into database models. This idea is a relatively recent concern of database research but it ...             CFP-tree: A compact disk-based structure for storing and querying frequent itemsets [An article from: ... G.
