Date on Database: Writings 2000-2006 is a compilation of Date's most significant articles and papers over the past seven years. It gives readers a one-stop place in which to find Date's latest thinking on relational technology. Many papers are not easily found outside this book.
C. J. Date is an independent author, lecturer, researcher, and consultant, specializing in relational database technology. His impact on the field has been profound, and for it he was inducted into the Computing Industry Hall of Fame in 2004. He was one of the first to recognize the genius inherent in E. F. Codd's vision for a relational approach to data management. Together, Codd and Date worked for many years to found and influence the field of relational databases, a field on which much of modern business and data processing ultimately rests.
