Overview

For courses in database management Database Concepts offers students practical help creating and managing small databases, from two of the world's leading database authorities. The text focuses on database concepts, rather than features and functions of a particular product, making it flexible enough to work with the instructor's preferred software. Data sets for three sample databases run throughout portions of the text so students can practice working with complete databases. Three running projects challenge learners to apply concepts and techniques to real business situations. In the 9th edition, Microsoft Office 2019, and particularly Microsoft Access 2019, is now the basic software used and is shown running on Microsoft Windows 10.
