Product Description

Product Description
This book presents undergraduate and graduate students with the basic principles and practical guidance for the development of relational databases within the framework of the set processing paradigm.

From the Back Cover
The study of relationship databases is a core component of virtually every undergraduate computer science degree course. This new edition of Theory and Practice of Relationship Databases retains all the features that made the previous edition such as success, and goes on to give even more comprehensive and informative coverage.
Written in a tutorial style and containing a great many examples and exercises as well as extensively using illustrative and explanatory graphics, the author has produced an undergraduate textbook of great depth and clarity that is very easy to follow. The subject of relational databases is brought to life by the writing style and the inclusion of an homogenous case study that reinforces the issues dealt with in each chapter.

The primary objective of the book is to present a comprehensive explanation of the process of development of database application systems within the framework of a set processing paradigm. Since the majority of these applications are built as relationship systems, a complete though reasonably concise account of that model is presented. Dr. Stanczyk has achieved this by concentrating on the issues that contribute significantly to the application development while de-emphasizing purely theoretical aspects of the subject. This has led to an imaginative and highly practical textbook that will be an excellent read for the undergraduate computer science student.

1.0 out of 5 stars Student's point of view, 11 Oct 2004
By A Customer
I found this book to be very complicated to comprehend. Not only did I have to analyse all the concepts- which were put into long winded definitions/explanations such as this one on Referential Integrity Diagrams- "It constitutes our statement, presented in a transparent yet precise manner, of our perception of the relevant part of the computerizable conceptual data model expressed in relational terms." I had to also decode the writer's long winded style which included irrelevant words such as 'obviously' that only made the sentences pointlessly longer. The diagrams were rarely helpful and sometimes lacked keys. All in all, my fellow students and I found this book to be nothing more than a complicated way of explaining quite simple concepts of relational databases. Although main concepts were covered, my fellow students and I felt they were not explained efficiently. It is ironic how at the beginning of the book it is mentioned that this book is popular with students. The truth is it is in fact our required textbook and thus we are forced to buy it.
