5.0 out of 5 stars excellent, August 6, 2000

By	RushMew (Montreal, Qc Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Database Management Systems with Student CD-ROM (Hardcover)

This book serves as a complete guideline for designing business applications. The best part is that it explains the basics of each and every step involved in application development. Every step is made complete by giving relevant examples, which makes it the ultimate reference for DBMS. I would recommend this book to everybody who is putting his/her foot in DB world. Students taking DBMS course should read this book, which would make their life a lot easier!!! It covers extensily the application development in Access which turns out to be much more helpful/explanatory than those Access books. I couldn't wait to finish reading the whole book.
