The Design Of Postgres

Summary: Presents POSTGRES, a successor to INGRES, with object support and user extensibility for data types, operators, and access methods. Adds alerters/triggers, forward/backward inference, and simplified crash recovery; hardware-aware design for optical disks, multi-processor workstations, and VLSI, with minimal changes to the relational model.
