CS525F: Foundational Aspects of Database Systems

Required Textbook / Reading

The first 5-6 lectures, we will be covering material based on the textbook by Abiteboul, Hull and Vianu. We will also be following the textbook quite closely -- therefore do buy the textbook. The second book mentioned below (by Zaniolo et al) is also a good book for most of the topics covered in the first 5-6 lectures.
