The book introduces a model for next-generation database systems that addresses the increasing demands from various sectors like banking and online shopping. It focuses on evolving databases into decision-making systems that utilize data from multiple, sometimes unreliable sources. A key innovation is the confidence index set (ciset), which quantitatively assesses qualitative facts for efficient storage and processing. Additionally, it provides a foundational overview of relational database systems, making the advanced concepts accessible to readers without a prior background in database theory.
