Description
Appropriate for Introductory Database courses for information systems students (beginning and advanced) at the undergraduate and graduate level. Also suitable for a larger information systems curriculum that includes business programming, systems analysis, system design, and data communication.
Comprehensive coverage of business database systems is organized around the database development life cycle, providing a basis for discussing conceptual and implementation design, database implementation, and the management environment. Conceptual data modeling serves as a premise for a discussion of conceptual design and as a means for design implementation using the relational, hierarchical, and network models. Client/server database implementations and knowledge-base systems are included among database planning and administration, DBMS selection, and security and integrity that are formulated into a framework of strategic and tactical management issues.

Description
Coverage of business database systems is organized around the database development life cycle in this text, providing a basis for discussing conceptual and implementation design, database implementation, and the management environment. Conceptual data modelling serves as a premise for a discussion of conceptual design and as a means for design implementation using the relational, hierarchical and network models. Client/server database implementations and knowledge-base systems are included among database planning and administration, DBMS selection, and security and integrity that are formulated into a framework of strategic and tactical management issues. An instructor's manual with test questions is available (0-13-311135-0).
