Synopsis:

Continuing the tradition of their successful first two editions, Philip J. Pratt and Joseph J. Adamski have created "The Concepts of Database Management, Third Edition" to even better serve those learners who are looking for a concise but complete introduction to database concepts. This book fits database fundamentals into a shorter format that teaches users how to build databases through two effective running case studies. Using Access as a foundation, the Third Edition begins with a discussion of database models and proceeds to cover QBE, SQL, Normalization, Design Methodology, and Administration. Each chapter features step-by-step instruction, exercises, and projects that enhance learning.

From the Publisher: Updated and new exercises in each chapter and a new case study reinforce the concepts. New appendices describe the purpose and syntax of the major SQL commands used in the book. A concise approach to database management that covers fundamental material in nine chapters and several appendices. A comprehensive discussion of database design includes normalization, E-R diagrams, numerous database design examples, and trade-off discussions. Extensive coverage of SQL with design examples to illustrate key concepts. Advanced topics such as concurrency issues, distributed databases, and data warehouses are included.
