5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly well written, October 28, 2000

By	jackofsometrades "jackofsometrades" (Finland, EU) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Modern Database Management (5th Edition) (Hardcover)

I bought this book for a DBMS course in a university and I liked it. This is the best written book compared to any IT book on any subject I've read. Everything seems so easy and simple with this. And this covers a lot of ground, enough at least for any basic level DBMS course. It covers the basics, SQL, (E)ER-diagrams, O-O db's, warehousing, etc.

What this is NOT: this is not a hands-on guide for real work. This is the first introduction to what you should know before beginning any DB-related work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Introductory Text, March 9, 2000

By	Jeff Stephens (Tampa, Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Modern Database Management, Oracle 7.3.4 edition (Hardcover)

Good up-to-date introductory text on Database Systems. It covers all the bases although in a less quantative way than the Elmasri/Navathe or Ramakrishnan/Gehrke texts. Excellent web based support material. Also, if you get the Oracle Edition (ISBN 0201383721) you'll get 3 great CD's: Oracle Designer/2000, Rel. 2.1; Oracle Developer/2000, Rel. 2.1, and Personal Oracle 7, Rel. 7.3.4. I found this package of text and CD's to be the best value on the market.
