Continuing the tradition of their successful first two editions, Philip J. Pratt and Joseph J. Adamski have created "The Concepts of Database Management, Third Edition" to even better serve those learners who are looking for a concise but complete introduction to database concepts. This book fits database fundamentals into a shorter format that teaches users how to build databases through two effective running case studies. Using Access as a foundation, the Third Edition begins with a discussion of database models and proceeds to cover QBE, SQL, Normalization, Design Methodology, and Administration. Each chapter features step-by-step instruction, exercises, and projects that enhance learning.
