Overview

Describing the technology that makes it possible to design mission-critical database applications using inexpensive hardware and software database technology, this book provides the fundamental knowledge and design skills needed to effectively employ database software to solve business problems. It also examines distributed client/server environments and the application configurations that can be oriented in a multisystem environment. Introduces the capabilities of Structured Query Language (SQL), and covers the common pitfalls that new users might not otherwise discover from reading software documentation.

    Great Resource from college to real world

    This book was required reading for my database design class in college, and I am still using it at work years later. James Martin explains concepts in a clear, simple manner with lots of visual examples. I would highly recommend that anyone interested or working in database design purchase this book and read it cover to cover.
