Product Description
Review
Reviews from the first edition of Inside Relational Databases: "Quite simply - superb. By making relational databases understandable, Mark Whitehorn and Bill Marklyn have achieved far more than most. Making the subject interesting and entertaining as well puts these two authors firmly in a class of their own." - Neil Fawcett, Group Technical Editor, VNU Business Publications "PCW and Amazon.co.uk contributor Mark Whitehorn is that rare combination - an expert in his field, databases, and a fine writer too, with a talent for honing a complex subject down to its essentials." - Tamsin Todd, Computer & Internet Editor, Amazon.co.uk "Inside Relational Databases is excellent. It is clearly and concisely written and full of humorous asides which ease the reader through an otherwise weighty topic. Probably the most engaging technical book I have read." - Paul McGowan
Product Description
The second edition of this best-seller is revised and updated. It delivers a reader-friendly explanation of the relational model and its importance to database designers and builders. Clear explanations make use of examples rather than equations, and show how an understanding of the relational model can lead to making a database faster and flexible. Topics covered include: nulls, primary and foreign keys, joins, relationships, domains, indexing, and many others. The authors manage to shed light on this tricky subject with substance and style.

5.0 out of 5 stars
a very informative, easily undersood intro to databases.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Inside Relational Databases (Paperback)
you can tell from the off that the writers of this "journey into databases" are passionate about their subject. Indeed going to bed to dream about databases is the extreme regarding anything you care deeply enough to write a book on the subject. The book in itself is very easy to read and puts the basic ideas and concepts into language which anyone who is interested can understand. The writing style is jovial and the use of copious examples on cd rom is a boon for burgeoning database planners and designers. the book was a pleasure to read and is a great reference book for trainers like myself. Well done Mark and Bill (not Gates!! read the book to understand)

Excellent intro to relational databases,
By Nick Garfield (CH-1211 Genève 23, Switzerland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Inside Relational Databases (Paperback)
From the outside relational databases appear to be a rather abstract and difficult subject. This book shows just how simple and useful databases can be. It assumes no existing knowledge and uses real world examples to demonstrate how to manage data efficiently. Finally, the book explains the really powerful part of relational databases - normalization, joins and finally SQL. IMO, a really good book. Good companion books are "Sams Teach Yourself SQL in 10 minutes" and "Programming the Network with Perl" by Paul Barry.

If you know nothing about databases - start here.,
By The Infidel (London UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Inside Relational Databases (Paperback)
I bought this book years ago and recently rediscovered it after moving house. The information in this book still holds true although needs an update. So I contacted one of the authors Mark Whitehorn and he told me that they are just finishing an updated version. If you can't wait get it anyway as it is still a very good and informative book. It taught me everything you need to know to get going in RMDBS management.
