Product Description

Book Description
Database Management Systems is designed for use in courses. This book is distinctive in its emphasis on the practical side of databases. This means that it has unique coverage of database design, uses SQL throughout the book to demonstrate different concepts, and has an emphasis on query evaluation and optimization.

In this revision the author has moved coverage of the ER model earlier in the book. Additionally, he has added chapters on Internet Databases, Decision Support, Data Mining, Object-Relational Databases, Spatial Databases and Deductive and Active Databases.

DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS is accompanied by a web site that includes solutions, presentation materials, practical SQL assignments, the minibase software and helpful lecture tips.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book with the right ingredients!, 17 Jan 2002
By A Customer
The writing style is crisp and clear, making it very easy to follow. Lots of excellent examples are given throughout the book in all the different sections. Very thoroughly and meticulously researched and written. This is a great book to learn about database management systems. It is suitable for beginners and also more advanced users as the book is very easy to understand, and it covers the topic to great depths. Very highly recommended!

Just wonderful examples, and linear theory explanation. Graphic is a bit "old style" but Who cares about it?

4.0 out of 5 stars above average, 12 Feb 2003
By A Customer
Unfortunalty i'm no database expert but i hope i soon will be a little better. This book covers the important things you need to know about databases in alot less text than other books available. In short it seems to be relatively consise in database terms :) from what i have read so far anyway. All the key topics are covered and its a good book for someone studying a single module in databases on an academic course. For someone studying databases in far more depth i'm sure there are far more comprehensive books available.
