The most comprehensive introduction to database programming and performance available. 
 A complete and practical introduction to database management systems for anyone who is, or wishes to become, a database administrator, application programmer, or sophisticated SQL user. Patrick O'Neil's pragmatic approach to programming and performance within commercial settings teaches you to create bug-free applications with the most efficient use of resources. 
 Starting with fundamental relational concepts, the author presents a full range of information about database standards and products, including Oracle, Ingres, DB2 and Sybase, and provides detailed, step- by-step coverage of SQL and database transaction programming. 
 More informative than standard listings of embedded SQL features, O'Neil's presentation of embedded SQL * including dynamic SQL) and forms-based application programming is so detailed that it enables you to write your own programs in C. Numerous exercises (with solutions) are provided to reinforce the skills needed to produce operational queries and programs. You'll also learn a number of limitations of interactive SQL and how to surmount these limitations in programs. Logical database design is also explained in depth and applied to the discussion of integrity constraints.

Database: Principles Programming and Performance

Science & Math

Mathematics

This second edition relies on the same successful approach that distinguished the first: it covers the principles of database theory with unmatched thoroughness, and it rigorously links theory to the real world of database programming and administration. A careful discussion of SQL standards and a multitude of examples drawn from actual databases-Oracle, DB2, and Informix-complements the authors' concept-oriented instruction, allowing you to develop product-specific understanding and to learn the important differences between the SQL dialects that will enable you to write portable applications.

Database: Principles, Programming, and Performance, Second Edition (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data Management Systems)

Of the many introductory books on database technology, none are as pragmatic or as broadly useful as "Database: Principles, Programming, Performance". In this second edition, authors O'Neil and O'Neil offer a thoroughly up-to-date look at today's most critical database technologies, including established relational products and the emerging object-relational model. Throughout, the focus is on the programming, implementation, and optimisation techniques that developers and administrators need to know to enjoy rapid, regular advancement in the information technology field. This book will appeal not only to the academic and corporate training market, but also to new and aspiring professionals, including data analysts seeking a reliable, practical desktop reference. Thoroughly revised and updated including coverage of the forthcoming SQL 99, it discusses three different DBMSs for all concepts, applications, and examples: IBM, DB2, UDB, Informix, and Oracle. The most practical text/reference book focused on implementation and performance, it provides in-depth coverage of object-relational technology that is changing the way databases are designed, administered, and used. It serves well as a practical reference for database programmers, administrators, as well as users, who want to increase the sophistication of their queries. A Companion Web site gives access to extensive SQL code, lecture notes, and solutions to exercises.

Independent Publisher

This memoir follows a punk rock pioneer on his slide into drug abuse and life as an armed robber, all the way through life in recovery and what it's like to look back on those times, knowing all the while that he is still under the threat of three strikes, a twenty-five-to-life prison sentence waiting. He has no choice but to deal with it all drug free.
During punk rock's heyday, Patrick O'Neil worked at the San Francisco's legendary Mabuhay Gardens. He went on to become the road manager for Dead Kennedys and Flipper, as well as T.S.O.L. and the Subhumans. He holds an MFA from Antioch University Los Angeles.

Anarchy At The Circle K is literally a punk tour-de-force. An in your face gut-wrenching, and at times humorous, tale of Patrick O’Neil’s stint as a roadie, road manager, and drug addict during punk’s heyday of the 1980’s. Crisscrossing the highways of America, on tour with such influential punk bands as Dead Kennedys, TSOL, Flipper, and Subhumans. O’Neil writes a brutally honest and no holds barred memoir depicting the sleepless nights behind the wheel, never-ending string of decrepit night clubs, a plethora of ruthless promoters, depressing dressing rooms, copious amounts of cheap beer, clandestine drug buys, riotous crowds, intense violence, inadvertent OD’s, and seedy motel one night stands. This book is an insider’s look at life on the road from back in the day and you’re along for the ride.\n“Patrick O’Neil brilliantly describes the insanity of touring with a punk band in the 80s. Like his last book, Gun Needle Spoon, Anarchy at the Circle K is a page-turner, except that I had to keep stopping to catch my breath. How does he remember it so well when he was out of his skull? I can barely recall, and I was (mostly) sober. For me this book was like PTSD therapy, with forgotten incidents brought back by O'Neil’s bemused, smirking prose.” — Klaus Fluoride, Dead Kennedys\n“Patrick is an authentic storyteller, and I consider him one of my oldest friends. He is and was the real deal, funny, friendly, smart, and tough. Few could tell this story, let alone live it and survive. His recall of all the people and places… is nothing short of miraculous as most of us who were there struggle to remember in such color and texture. Anarchy at the Circle K brought me back to a wild, free, and reckless time when we toured relentlessly and when anything seemed possible. We were a band, a gang, and a family always headed to the next town. Chris Grayson and Patrick were our crew. We inherited them from Dead Kennedys. Chris the soundman has passed (RIP), Patrick continues on and I think he still has a lot to say.”— Mike Roche, T.S.O.L.\n“Anarchy at the Circle K is an insightful view that you don’t get or think about when you’re in the band—all the personnel, bands, girls, drugs, promoters, and venues. The rise and fall, the WILL to take it all, and do what ever it takes to get the band and gear to the next gig, and score the D… Patrick O’Neil, the man is a juggernaut. Thanks for not sugarcoating the shit!” — D. H. Peligro, Dead Kennedys
