C.J.Date is an independent author,lecturer,researcher,and consultant,specializing in relational database technology.He is based in Healdsburg,California.
In 1967,following several years as a mathematical programmer and programming instructor for Leo Computers Ltd.London,E.ngland,Mr.Date moved to the IBMUKDevelopment Laboratories,where he worked on the integration of database functionality into PLI.In 1974 he transferred to the IBM Systems Development Center in California,where he was responsible for the design of a database language known as the Unified Database Language,UDL,and worked on technical planning and externals design for the IBM products SQLDS and DB2.He left IBM in May,1983.
Mr.Date has been active in the database field for well over 30 years.He was one of the first people anywhere to recognize the significance of Codd''s pioneering work on the relational model.He has lectured widely on technical subjects principally on database topics,and especially on relational database--throughout North America and also in Europe,Australia,Latin America,and the Far East.In addition to the present book,he is author or coauthor of a number of other database texts,including,from Morgan Kaufmann,Temporal Data and the Relational Model2003and,from Addison-Wesley,Foundation for Future Database Systems:The Third Manifesto2nd edition,2000,a detailed proposal for the future direction of the field;Database:A Primer1983,which treats database systems from the nonspecialist''s point of view;a series of Relational Database Writings books1986,1990,1992,1995,1998,which deal with various aspects of relational technology in depth;and another series of books on specific systems and languages A Guide to DB24th edition,1993,A Guide to SYBASE and SQL Server1992,A Guide to SQLDS1988,A Guide to INGRES1987,and A Guide to the SQL Standard4th edition,1997.His books have been translated into several languages,including Braille,Chinese,Dutch,French,German,Greek,Italian,Japanese,Korean,Polish,Portuguese,Russian,and Spanish.
Mr.Date has also produced over 300 technical articles and research papers and has made a variety of original contributions to database theory.For several years,he was a regular columnist for the magazine Database Programming & Design.He also contributes regularly to.the website htrp:www.dbdebunk.com.His professional seminars on database technology,offered both in North America and overseas,are widely considered to be second to none for the quality of the subject matter and the clarity of the exposition.
Mr.Date holds an Honours Degree in Mathematics from Cambridge University,EnglandBA 1962,MA 1966and the honorary degree of Doctor of Technology from De Montfort University,England1994.
