Provides a good overview of database design/management,
By lholt@rollins.edu - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Concepts of Database Management (Paperback)
I have used this book for the past 3 years in an undergraduate database design course. The book addresses the major issues associated with database design without obscuring topics with a lot of the underlying math/relational algebra details. The book serves well as a backdrop for the course material. Its use of MS Access for examples works well for the typical database designer/user. 'Hardcore' database students/professors/developers would probably want a more detailed treatment of the subject.

I taught this book at university....,

This review is from: The Concepts of Database Management (Paperback)
.If you need a book for certification, this isn't it....it is so much more than that. This was the consensus choice of the faculty for the database foundations class when I taught information systems at university. Of late, when I interview entry level database developers, I can tell whether or not they used this book or a recent version when they started to study database design. If they did not, they lack a comprehensive knowledge of the field. Those with the various certifications know enough about their specific application, but frequently, they can't figure out problems that haven't been covered by the certification training. Their conceptual knowledge rarely expands beyond their chosen application. If you want a solid conceptual foundation of database design...this is your book. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful

A very well-written database book,
By J. C. Thibodaux - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Concepts of Database Management, Fifth Edition (Paperback)
I used this book as a text for my Database Systems course. It's well written in plain English and easy to understand as opposed to many of the textbooks that I've used thus far. It uses easy to grasp examples, and helped me to understand concepts that were previously elusive to me from when I first tried to learn database as an undergrad student. A great book for someone trying to understand the fundamentals of database operation.
