- My favorite book is "An Introduction to Database Systems" by C.J. Date,
- published by Addison-Wesley (ISBN 0-201-14201-5). It comes in two
- volumes, but Volume #1 will probably suit your purposes. I has a number
- of
- chapters on relational theory, with an extended treatment of INGRES.
- There
- are separate chapters on normalization, distributed systems, and semantic
- modeling.
