Product Description
From Amazon
Access Database Design and Programming covers a lot of ground quickly but lucidly. Steven Roman begins with a description of general principles of database design, then describes the "relational algebra" that defines the meaning of such operations as unions and joins, introduces SQL syntax, and finally dives into the details of using VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) to write Access code. The result is a single book that can teach you all the basics of building database applications in Access. Portions of the book are heavy with logical equations whose effects can be hard to visualize, but Roman's judicious use of sample data makes it much easier to follow the operations being described.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good First Database Book,
By
This review is from: Access Database Design and Programming (Paperback)
This is a good first database book, even if you do not use Access. The first five chapters cover material that apply to all DBMS's. Chapters six and seven present universal topics, but elucidate them using Access. For those who are complete novices, you may want to also read Sams Teach Yourself SQL in 10 Minutes by Ben Forta concurrently. I would reccomend reading Roman Chapters 1-4, then Forta chapters 1-6, then Roman Chapter 6, then Forta 7-14, then Roman Chapter 5. Read the rest of the book if you are working in Access. After tackling these two books, you may want to read Practical Issues in database Management by Fabian Pascal. For more specific topical help on Access, read either Alison Balter's Mastering Access Development (different books for different versions), or the Access Cookbook by Getz, Litwin & Baron.

I like it,

This review is from: Access Database Design & Programming (Paperback)
I really liked the book, especially the detail with which relationships were described. I have an older version so the programming examples are for DAO. This means you'll get errors if you try the examples in Access 2000 which defaults to ADO. You can add DAO to your components and the examples then work I just ordered a newer version of the book which has updated it's programming section to include ADO.

DAO & quantum physics,
By eric taylor (springfield, il United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Access Database Design & Programming (Paperback)
I find some of the complaints about this books to be interesting. First of all, I have always liked this book (refering to 2nd edition) for its concise simplicity (I wonder if the person who compares it to quantum physics has actually ever studied quantum physics?). And secondly I suspect that those who complained about dao do not realize that to use DAO one must first establish a reference to it in the vba window (Tools, References, check "Microsoft DAO x.xx Object Library). The program does not automatically provide reference to both dao and ado because of the overlap of objects in their respective libraries. Anyway, it is an excellent book.
