Abstract
Database systems play an important role in the computer industry. Some database systems (such as Oracle) are enormously complex and typically run on large, highend machines. Others (such as SQLite) are small, streamlined, and intended for the storage of application-specific data. Despite their wide range of uses, all database systems have similar features. This chapter examines the issues that a database system must address and the capabilities it is expected to have. It also introduces the Derby and SimpleDB database systems, which will be discussed in this book.
