Fantastic Boost of Theoretical Knowlege
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This college-level textbook NEEDS to be on the desk of everyone involved with database design or information systems programming. Its vendor-neutral and platform-independent lessons cover every topic just thoroughly enough to let the reader understand the material, while avoiding tedium or needless technicality.Prior to reading this book, I knew zero about information systems design or database theory. I now use the "theoretical" knowledge it gave me on a daily basis. It taught me how to: * Validate users' form input before storing it * Identify relational databases' foreign key referential integrity problems * Perform complex SQL joins * Recognize compound keys * Use the Systems Development Life Cycle as a model for development * Plan a system design with its users prior to developmentI can even throw around the words "attribute", "tuple", and "relation" instead of the plebian "field", "record", and "table" (a real chick-magnet!).In short, this text would be a great aid in enhancing the theoretical knowledge of those wishing to more fully understand the information systems they develop or maintain.
