This book is GREAT and UNLIKE most of the popular Introductory Database Management Systems books in the market, most of OTHER BOOKS suffer from things like the author talks too much in explaining trivial relations examples like Order, Production, and Inventory...etc, or more like the author feels he is the "Elbert Einstein" of the DBMS world, and insists on making the reader feels that by writing 1000+ pages in a book that requires at maximum 400 pages of clear and complete explanation.

BUT, This book is:
1- A True introduction to Relational DBMS.
2- Direct explanation without any extra wordy styles like most of the authors in the field.
3- Written to make students of DBMS cover most of the subjects a student MUST KNOW.
4- Supporting Graphs are clear and self explaining.

my advice is that if you are a student in DBMS, buy this book, even used, and read the topic you study from it to get a quick understand of the topic, then go to more advanced books for more explanation.

Actually I wished I had this book when i was in college, which would save me a lot of time.

Also, I wish if the author continues making books on more advanced topics following the same direct and clear style of this book.
