Data analysis for database design is a subject of practical value to systems analysts and designers. This third edition has been updated to ensure that developments concerning relational databases are included. In particular, there is a new section on the object-orientated approach and a detailed case study outlining the use of SQL in first and second level design. The book explains techniques from a practical standpoint by using small-scale realistic examples and "answer pointers" at the end of each chapter to encourage understanding. The questions and assignments have also been updated for this third edition, as have hardware aspects.

"... It has the very specific aim of explaining techniques and concepts. It does so from a very practical standpoint by drawing on reasonably small-scale examples. To allow the reader to measure comprehension at each stage selected exercises are provided. The 'answer pointers' at the end of the chapter readily reveal any lack of comprehension... This book is strongly recommended to serious students..... It is able to delve thoroughly into the area of data analysis and model design." --The Computer Journal. (Of the first edition)
