Download or read book Inside Relational Databases with Examples in Access written by Mark Whitehorn and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-04-06 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contents Should we tell you the whole story? Of course, there is an inevitable tension in trying to work like this. For example, in Chapter 16 we talk about referential integrity. There are - sentially six different flavors of referential integrity but Access only s- ports four of them (they are the most important ones however, so you aren’t missing out on too much). The problem is this. Should we tell you about the other two? If we do, as an Access user you have every right to be annoyed that we are telling you about a feature you can’t use. On the other hand, the six different types that we describe are part of the re- tional world and this book is about that world – we are not trying to teach you how to use Access, we are simply using Access to illustrate the relational model. Ultimately we decided to risk your ire and to describe all of the features of the relational model as we see it, even if Access doesn’t support all of them. One advantage of this approach is that if you need to use a different database engine you will almost certainly find the extra information useful. Incidentally, this is not meant to imply that Access is somehow lacking as a relational database engine. The reason we chose it for the first book is that it is such a good example of a relational database tool.

Download or read book Relational Database Systems Why and How written by Ron Rogerson and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-05-05 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Half a century after they were first described, relational database systems remain by far the most popular choice for the storage of large datasets. The book describes the practical and theoretical reasons why this is so, and goes on to show how to analyse a data requirement and use it to design and develop a database. Through a series of practical exercises, it teaches SQL using a freely downloadable database system (SAP SQL Anywhere? for Windows 7 and above, MacOS 10.9 and above, and Linux) It is aimed principally at software engineers aiming to make a first move into SQL programming or database management, students of computing or computer science where an understanding of SQL/relational databases may be a prerequisite for the courses they are following or plan to follow, and technical managers needing a grasp of SQL/relational databases. The author taught the subject for more than two decades, as a course tutor for the UK Open University. He is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

Download or read book Theory and Practice of Relational Databases written by Stefan Stanczyk and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of relationship databases is a core component of virtually every undergraduate computer science degree course. This new edition of Theory and Practice of Relationship Databases retains all the features that made the previous edition such as success, and goes on to give even more comprehensive and informative coverage. Written in a tutorial style and containing a great many examples and exercises as well as extensively using illustrative and explanatory graphics, the author has produced an undergraduate textbook of great depth and clarity that is very easy to follow. The subject of relational databases is brought to life by the writing style and the inclusion of an homogenous case study that reinforces the issues dealt with in each chapter. The primary objective of the book is to present a comprehensive explanation of the process of development of database application systems within the framework of a set processing paradigm. Since the majority of these applications are built as relationship systems, a complete though reasonably concise account of that model is presented. Dr. Stanczyk has achieved this by concentrating on the issues that contribute significantly to the application development while de-emphasizing purely theoretical aspects of the subject. This has led to an imaginative and highly practical textbook that will be an excellent read for the undergraduate computer science student.

Download or read book Relational Database Design and Implementation written by Jan L. Harrington and published by Morgan Kaufmann. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 714 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relational Database Design and Implementation: Clearly Explained, Fourth Edition, provides the conceptual and practical information necessary to develop a database design and management scheme that ensures data accuracy and user satisfaction while optimizing performance. Database systems underlie the large majority of business information systems. Most of those in use today are based on the relational data model, a way of representing data and data relationships using only two-dimensional tables. This book covers relational database theory as well as providing a solid introduction to SQL, the international standard for the relational database data manipulation language. The book begins by reviewing basic concepts of databases and database design, then turns to creating, populating, and retrieving data using SQL. Topics such as the relational data model, normalization, data entities, and Codd's Rules (and why they are important) are covered clearly and concisely. In addition, the book looks at the impact of big data on relational databases and the option of using NoSQL databases for that purpose. - Features updated and expanded coverage of SQL and new material on big data, cloud computing, and object-relational databases - Presents design approaches that ensure data accuracy and consistency and help boost performance - Includes three case studies, each illustrating a different database design challenge - Reviews the basic concepts of databases and database design, then turns to creating, populating, and retrieving data using SQL
