Ich habe dieses Buch für meinen Kurs "Relationale Datenbanken" gelesen. Eben jener Kurs und seine Präsentationen bauten auf diesem Buch auf. Allerdings basierten unsere Übungsaufgaben auf einem anderen Werk, so dass dieses Buch für mich nur eine kleine Einstiegshilfe war. Jetzt wo ich am Ende des Kurses stehe, verstehe ich die Inhalte dieses Buches wahrscheinlich besser. Mir Inhalte allein durch dieses Buch aneignen zu müssen, wäre für mich sehr schwer gewesen. Es ist zwar sehr einfach geschrieben, doch erschließt sich für mich manche Problematik auch durch mehrfaches lesen nicht.

The book promises "As much practice as possible, as few theory as necessary." Some people who are after "pure practice" might be disappointed and feel cheated by this statement. There is actually quite a bit of theory, and the practice part is not going into large projects but exemplifies things with small data.
However, the promise that's only half kept doesn't matter at all, because Piepmeyer is actually right: If you understand the theoretical background, it can help you become a better practician. I've been writing SQL queries for a few years now, with no background at all. Now I've had a glimpse at the larger picture, and it's a nice outlook. Piepmeyer explains most aspects clearly and easily. Though one reading of the book doesn't mean one has really learned yet, at least there's no fear of relational theory anymore. It's the first time I read a description of a B+ tree that I could understand. And I even have a rough comprehension of MapReduce now. Thank you, Mr. author.
