Open the doors to RDBMS
Reviewed in the United States on 18 October 2003Verified Purchase
This book opened the doors of relational database management systems to me. Prior to reading it I had some general experience with MySQL but an incomplete understanding of the subject. Much to my surprise I found I really liked working with a RDBMS's so I began searching for a book that would give me a solid introdcution to the theory and practice. I think this book fit the bill. After reading it I was ready to tackle a data migration project from Unify to Informix. Now I work as a database programmer. I have since purchased and read other RDBMS books about Informix (the RDBMS I have worked most with) but I find that I still refer to this text from time to time to clear up some minor points of confusion. This book will not make you an expert with RDBMS's but it will give you the background necessary to build up your confidence so you can tackle other tasks. At times the prose can be a bit drawn out but those sections are few and far between. Be advised though that this book uses conceptual/practical approach to database design. While it provide some examples using MS Access and Oracle I find the conceptual discussions more interesting and indeed more useful. With this foundation I was able to begin working with Informix Dynamic Server-an RDBMS that is clearly not the focus of this book.

excellent for all levels of SQL
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 June 2003Verified Purchase
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).

Top text book for my database course
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 April 2014Verified Purchase
It's unbelievable cheap. Several pounds for a top quality text book? worth it.
It covers most of points on my database course (theory part). I'm pretty sure my lecturer used it on his slides as well.
Agreed with previous comment on ER diagram, crow's foot is more popular right now, but that's not an big issue I would say, because you could find more introduction on notation online.
Buy an used one (with a good condition of course), it's just basic text book.
