Received an "A" in this mechanical engineer's continuing-ed class, taken at a local community college in Schenectady. Helped(s) me with my work, both at GE Energy and at my current position at GlobalSpec.com. I strongly recommend this book and / or a course connected to it to anyone working with databases on the Internet.
This book definitely was helpful with my module for Business Database Systems, especially as all the quizzes, tests and exam were based on this book. But I did get tired of using it so much.
Good definitions but the information was a jumble when it came to the examples. At first I thought having examples for different versions (access, MySQL, ect.) that people in technology field use daily would be nice but it got confusing very early on. This book could be useful for the history of the technology field and definitions, but that's not what I wanted from a book to help me better myself in the field I want to work in. In my opinion, the book could have benefited from an editor, better

Generally, I found the material to be a bit dry, but in all seriousness its a book about databases so I'm going to concede that point.
This book was utilized in an MBA course and is intended to generally familiarize the uninitiated with the basics of databases and their usage. In that regard this is an excellent book, however for those with any practical experience with databases outside of Access the content will be rather rudimentary.

This is a good book. I think all the tutorials really helped me learn the basics of databases. I'd beware the author Kronke, though, as he really likes to hear himself talk and has written more than one textbook.
Not so good.
Very clear and easy to read. I think the authors struck the right balance between hand-holding through the examples and letting you explore on your own.
Not a very good text.
