Architecture of a Database System Available for Download
July 5, 2008
I was looking for information about MySQL and SharePoint, and I came across a useful monograph. You can download a copy of the 2007 “Architecture of a Database System” by Joseph Hellerstein, Michael Stonebraker, and James Hamilton. Mr. Hamilton is involved in Microsoft’s new data center initiatives, and he has a solid grounding in databases. His co authors are professors. At the time the monograph was published, Mr. Hellerstein was at the University of California-Berkeley and Mr. Stonebraker at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. On July 4, 2008, the complete monograph was located here. I scanned the 180 page document and came away with the impression that the monograph provides a thorough review of database technologies. I did not spot much information about Google’s system, but I zipped through the PDF quickly and may have missed the references. You may want to snag a copy before it disappears.
