A few improvements:

'its value that cannot' should be
'its value cannot'

'A newly created Cluster' should be
'A newly created cluster'

'term Cluster' should be
'term cluster'

'allowed within a Table.' should be
'allowed within a table.'

'of a SQL data type.' should be
'of an SQL data type.'

'A SQL command' should be
'An SQL command'

'i.e. the data' should be
'i.e., the data'

'that a a view is' should be
'that a view is'

'One of the tables that each contain part' should be
'One of multiple tables that each contain part'

'a partition is a user-defined criteria' should be
'a partition is a user-defined criterion'

'Roless are' should be
'Roles are'

'undo all of the operations' should be
'undo all operations'

'A special mark inside the sequence of steps' should be
'A special mark in the sequence of steps'

'are enforced unique' should be (?)
'are enforced to be unique'

'the term Schema is used' should be
'the term schema is used'

'belong to exactly one Schema.' should be
'belong to exactly one schema.'

'about the Cluster's activities' should be
'about the cluster's activities'

'the most common form of Relation' should be
'the most common form of relation'

'A Trigger executes' should be
'A trigger executes'

'and other closely related garbage-collection-like processing' should
be
'and other processing'

'each of the changes are replayed' should be
'each of the changes is replayed'

Should also be a lemmata in the glossary:

ACID

'archaic' should maybe be 'obsolete'. That seems to me to be an easier
word for non-native speakers.

Thanks,
