 I taught this book at university.... September 5, 2007

.
If you need a book for certification, this isn't it....it is so much more than that.
This was the consensus choice of the faculty for the database foundations class when I taught information systems at university.
Of late, when I interview entry level database developers, I can tell whether or not they used this book or a recent version when they started to study database design. If they did not, they lack a comprehensive knowledge of the field. Those with the various certifications know enough about their specific application, but frequently, they can't figure out problems that haven't been covered by the certification training. Their conceptual knowledge rarely expands beyond their chosen application.
If you want a solid conceptual foundation of database design...this is your book.

This product is great for beginners or people who have experience in Access. The explanation for how to do certain things is excellent.

This is an excellent book so far. I taught myself by reading it and the book
was very readable. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get familiar
with database systems. I think it is a top notch book even for a beginner because I get A+ as a final grade for my course Database Systems.

I used this book as a text for my Database Systems course. It's well written in plain English and easy to understand as opposed to many of the textbooks that I've used thus far. It uses easy to grasp examples, and helped me to understand concepts that were previously elusive to me from when I first tried to learn database as an undergrad student. A great book for someone trying to understand the fundamentals of database operation.
