Synopsis

A concise yet comprehensive introduction to fundamental database concepts, this book is an indispensable resource for anyone looking to develop their knowledge of database management. Now in its sixth edition, Concepts of Database Management will maintain the focus on real-world case exercises that made previous editions so effective, and incorporate all new scenarios to reflect the most common database issues faced today, such as database design, data integrity, concurrent updates, and data security.

With strong pedagogical features such as chapter summaries, review questions, and case exercises to reinforce critical concepts, and advanced topics such as distributed databases and data warehouses, this book will foster an in-depth understanding of database management that will prepare readers for success in their fields.
