Database System Concepts by Silberschatz, Henry F. Korth, S. Sudarshan
This volume is an instructor’s manual for the 4th edition of Database System Concepts
by Abraham Silberschatz, Henry F. Korth and S. Sudarshan. It contains answers to
the exercises at the end of each chapter of the book. Before providing answers to the
exercises for each chapter, we include a few remarks about the chapter. The nature of
these remarks vary. They include explanations of the inclusion or omission of certain
material, and remarks on how we teach the chapter in our own courses. The remarks
also include suggestions on material to skip if time is at a premium, and tips on
software and supplementary material that can be used for programming exercises.
Beginning with this edition, solutions for some problems have been made avail-
able on the Web. These problems have been marked with a “ * ” in the instructor’s
manual.
TheWeb home page of the book, at http://www.bell-labs.com/topic/books/db-book,
contains a variety of useful information, including up-to-date errata, online appen-
dices describing the network data model, the hierarchical data model, and advanced
relational database design, and model course syllabi.We will periodically update the
page with supplementary material that may be of use to teachers and students.
We provide a mailing list through which users can communicate among them-
selves and with us. If you wish to be on the list, please send an email to
db-book@research.bell-labs.com
including your name, affiliation, title, and electronic mail address.
We would appreciate it if you would notify us of any errors or omissions in the
book, as well as in the instructor’s manual. Although we have tried to produce an
instructor’s manual which will aid all of the users of our book as much as possible,
there can always be improvements. These could include improved answers, addi-
tional questions, sample test questions, programming projects, suggestions on alter-
native orders of presentation of the material, additional references, and so on.
