Logic and databases are inextricably intertwined. The relational model in particular is essentially just elementary predicate logic, tailored to fit the needs of database management. Now, if you’re a database professional, I’m sure this isn’t news to you; but you still might not realize just how much everything we do in the database world is - or should be! - affected by predicate logic. Logic is everywhere. So if you’re a database professional you really owe it to yourself to understand the basics of formal logic, and you really ought to be able to explain (and
