Great Textbook for Database Management Classes
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I used this book as the textbook for my Effective Database Management class and one student wrote in his evaluation that the book was his favorite thing about the class! It's hard to find a comprehensive book on database management and I think the authors did an excellent job of providing an overview of such topics as database design, security, database administration, etc. The summaries and questions at the end of each chapter are very helpful, as well. The authors include an airline reservation as their sample database application. For their next edition, I suggest that the authors include a sample application that is more generic, such as a sales and and marketing application. Then they could expand the data warehouse section to show how an OLTP (online transaction processing) system differs from an OLAP (online analytical processing) system, although they both are using the same data. The authors may also consider a chapter on Web-enabling a database and an introduction to data mining.
