3.0 out of 5 stars
Anti-Goldilocks problem,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Database Design, Application Development, and Administration,fourth edition (Paperback)
Coverage Level: This books is not a mathematically rigorous coverage of RDB theory. It is not a to-the-point pragmatic information dump for practitioners. Instead it seems to land in the middle as a textbook for one of the IT certifications that blossomed in the late 90s or DB design class in an associates degree program. However, if that's what you are looking for then this good book.
Topic Coverage: The title is an ordered listing of topic coverage quality, depth and enthusiasm. Design >> App Dev > Admin. The book is, without exception, overly verbose; however, the more detailed breakdown is... - SQL: 3/5 Required intro for a book of this sort but better covered in any number of O'Reilly etc books. - ER diagrams: 5/5 Best I've read but I'm not sure if ER diagrams are really a topic to hang one's hat on. - Scheme design: 4/5 Well covered but a futile topic to teach IMHO, requires first hand failures to learn. - Normalization: 5/5 Really belongs in this book between set theory and practitioner texts on RDMSs. - Views, triggers & procedures: 2/5 contrived examples that either suggest shoving the whole application into the DB or skipping these key features. - Admin: 3/5 Not bad but more quickly and less expensively available in O'Reilly etc books. Biggest Complaint: Strangely CS phobic in its lack of rigor which is unacceptable given its length and price. Bottom line: A fine book, even a good book if you are looking for a middle ground text. Its strengths slant more towards schema design than DB dev or admin.

Hard to follow up,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Database Design, Application Development, and Administration (Hardcover)
we used this book as main book for my graduate class, it is hard to follow, programming examples are not explained well, information scattered all over, it jumps between chapters for information.
1.0 out of 5 stars
Riddled with errors and inaccuarate information,
This review is from: Database Design, Application Development, and Administration,fourth edition (Paperback)
While the content of the book is fine, the problems are absolutely horrible. Mannino frequently leaves out important information needed to solve the problems, makes typographical errors, references the wrong dates, jumps between different chapters and many other things.
On the Chapter 3 assignment for example there are TWO number 7's. One is hidden inside of 6. I would highly not recommend this book.
