A book with authoritative coverage from the editor of the SQL-92 and SQL-99 standards. It provides practical explanation of the advanced features of SQL-99, including the object facilities, SQL/MED, SQL/MM, OLAP, and Java-related features as well as explains how to deploy these features in a wide variety of applications.
