Post takes a hands-on, applications-oriented--not a theory oriented--approach to DBMS focusing on teaching students how to evaluate a business situation & apply a solution by building a database application. The text contains in-depth coverage of two crucial topics for building databases: database design (normalization) & Structured Query Language-SQL (queries). Post includes many examples, exercises, & 2 sample databases to give students plenty of hands-on practice
Accompanying student CD-ROM contains a complete sample database application (Rolling Thunder Bicycles) and a second database (Sally's Pet Store) for comparison and additional assignments.
