This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Extending Database Technology, EDBT 2006, held in Munich, Germany, in March 2006. The 60 revised research papers presented together with eight industrial application papers, 20 software demos, and three invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from 352 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections.
