Description and Table of Contents

Description

This book covers relational database design by first developing a model of user data, then converting this model to relations and normalizing the relations. It then describes relational software with reference to SQL, and shows how it is used to develop applications that use the relational database. The book describes ways of developing a relational system, especially database design and the application of development software. It also covers techniques used in database design, including normalization and conversion relations to record structure, combines database design and application development in its SQL coverage, and provides comprehensive coverage of methods, describing their limitations and advantages. Each chapter contains diagrams and problems.
