Product Description
Dr Thomas Chesney, Nottingham University Business School
"An extremely accessible text which achieves both deep and broad coverage."
Dr Beatriz Iglesia, University of East Anglia
"This is an excellent introductory book for Database Systems. The students will find it clear and easy to digest as it provides many useful examples, and many exercises which will help to reinforce learning. The adaptation from the Amercian version has certainly enhanced its contents."

I bought this book as it was recommended for my second year Computing course on Databases. It is very easy to read and explains the topics easily especially relational algebra. There are also lots of examples and exercises at the end. A nice addition is the CD included which contains some of the answers. The book also has a chapter on SQL where the examples are in ORACLE 10g - this has been useful extra to the labs that we do at University. The book uses newer UML class diagrams to design relational databases rather than crows foot ERD's which we were taught briefly in the first year. This is making it easier to see how database design can fit into the whole system design. Overall I am very happy with this purchase.

For someone trying to learn database modelling and design concepts this book is utterly useless. Yes, it tries to be informative but there are a lot (and I do mean A LOT) of the examples in the book that contain mistakes or errors in table examples and the text referring to said examples. On a number of occasions I've found myself looking at a table example, reading the associated text and scratching my head because it just doesn't make sense. Then the penny drops, oh yes, you meant CLASS_CODE not CLASS_SECTION - silly me!! A small error, but their example table contains both attributes and the text is referring the wrong one it makes it pretty difficult to get your head round the relatively simple concept of strong/weak relationships. Then a couple of pages later, hmmm more errors! There is a reason that this book only has one good review - avoid it all costs, unless you want to keep cross referencing everything on Google.
