Rating: - Everything to begin
I first became interested in databases while trying to make something helpful for a university library reserve department where I worked. Experimentation and consultation with the people at utteraccess.com led me to a good conception of what I would need to accomplish.

The authors also sensibly show how this is implemented in common DBMSs (Access and Oracle).
If that wasn't worthwhile enough, the book contains two superb appendixes: ... Read More
