About Chris Date:
Chris is an independent author, lecturer, researcher, and consultant specialising in relational database systems. He was one of the first persons anywhere to recognise the fundamental importance of Ted Codd’s pioneering work on the relational model. He was also involved in technical planning for the IBM products SQL/DS and DB2 at the IBM Santa Teresa Laboratory in San Jose, California.
He is best known for his books, in particular An Introduction to Database Systems, 8th Edition (Addison-Wesley, 2004), the standard text in the field, which has sold around a million copies worldwide. He enjoys a reputation that is second to none for his ability to explain complex technical material in a clear and understandable fashion.
