Description

This book provides a concise practical guide to designing and building a simple database. It provides step-by-step instructions to enable the reader to analyse a current working system and design a relational database to support that system, using techniques such as Data Flow Diagrams, Entity-relationship Diagrams and Normalisation. The book then provides clear instructions on how to use the basic and most useful features of Microsoft Access (the most commonly used system) to complete the new working system.
