Theory and Practice of Relational Databases

Theory and Practice of Relational Databases presents a comprehensive explanation of the process of development of database application systems within the framework of a set processing paradigm. Written in a tutorial style and containing a great many examples and exercises as well as extensively using illustrative and explanatory graphics, the author has produced an undergraduate textbook of great depth and clarity that is very easy to follow. The subject of relational databases is brought to life by the writing style and the inclusion of an homogenous case study that reinforces the issues dealt with in each chapter. A Web site supports the book with a 'didactic' database management system (LEAP).
