Format:Paperback
The book does what it sets out to do; it provides a clear and concise account of database systems.
I am an under grad study for a software development diploma. Both the students and the lecturer use this book as a basis for the Database module.
I was particularly pleased to see a significant set of exercises and both references and further reading for each chapter.
I would recommend this book to anyone studying computing and databases. It is a good all round book, that covers all the important topics -
Entity-Relationship Diagrams
Extended Entity-Relationship Diagrams
Rational Databases
SQL
And much more.

Amazingly well written
28 Oct 2000
Format:Hardcover
I bought this book for a DBMS course in a university and I liked it. This is the best written book compared to any IT book on any subject I've read. Everything seems so easy and simple with this. And this covers a lot of ground, enough at least for any basic level DBMS course. It covers the basics, SQL, (E)ER-diagrams, O-O db's, warehousing, etc.
What this is NOT: this is not a hands-on guide for real work. This is the first introduction to what you should know before beginning any DB-related work.

Great Introductory Text
9 Mar 2000
Format:Hardcover
Good up-to-date introductory text on Database Systems. It covers all the bases although in a less quantative way than the Elmasri/Navathe or Ramakrishnan/Gehrke texts. Excellent web based support material. Also, if you get the Oracle Edition (ISBN 0201383721) you'll get 3 great CD's: Oracle Designer/2000, Rel. 2.1; Oracle Developer/2000, Rel. 2.1, and Personal Oracle 7, Rel. 7.3.4. I found this package of text and CD's to be the best value on the market.
