Publisher's Synopsis
For courses in Database Management, particularly for non-majors or brief courses. Also well-suited for courses that devote significant amounts of time to a specific database platform (Access, Oracle) and use a separate platform-specific title as well.
In a simple 6 chapter, straightforward manner, this paperback text teaches students the essential concepts for database processing-fundamentals of the relational model, structured query language (SQL), data modeling, database design, and database administration. Technically accurate and readily understandable discussions are the result of many years of experience in the database field and as a textbook author.
