Students are given a practical, real-world introduction to quality database design and operations in this extensively revised edition of a successful text. The reader is shown how to develop a database that is predictably sound and able to satisfy the strictest performance criteria. The book offers a carefully developed analysis of the essential subject matter, organized according to how a database is actually designed and operated. It also applies the design of databases to business and organizational activities. One useful feature of the book is that the methodology for designing a database is independent of any software package. Comprehensive and balanced treatment is given to all three Database Management Systems: IMS, IDMS/R and ADABAS. In addition, two detailed case studies are included: designing databases for a banking environment and a university environment. The large number of illustrations and tables make information in the book easy to understand, and questions and answers are provided at the end of each chapter.
