5.0 out of 5 stars Very good course book, 8 Feb 2005
By Mr. D. M. Crathern "Dom" (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is well written and aimed at those with little or no prior knowledge of databases (e.g. undergraduates). It goes from conceptual design right down to low level topics. I think the main strength of this book lies in its excellent examples. There are several case studies which are used very well to show practical examples of concepts described. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a text book on databases.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent for all levels of SQL, 26 Jun 2003
This review is from: Database Systems: A Practical Approach to Design, Implementation and Management (International Computer Science Series) (Paperback)
This book was the recommended title for my second year university SQL module. I used it a s a complete newbie to SQL and found it incredibly helpful both at a basic descriptional level as well as at advanced level as I progressed. Focus is well split between essential coceptual/logical design, normalisation etc as well as actual code syntax. Absolutely essential reference for anyone using or considering using SQL (includes DBMS specific instructions too for MS Access and Oracle for example as well).

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent practical textbook for HND, 13 Sep 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Database Systems: A Practical Approach to Design, Implementation and Management (International Computer Science Series) (Paperback)
Generally an excellent text-book. It doesn't quite carry the clout or precision of C. J Dates book on database systems, but it is far more practical. Not only are the explanations simpler, but there are more practical examples. Also because it is a newer book it is a little more up-to date. The fact that it includes examples in ACCESS as well is an added bonus for teachers and students who have no choice but to use ACCESS.

Certainly the best text for students at the HNC/HND level.
