Relational Database Design and Implementation

Fully revised, updated, and expanded, Relational Database Design and Implementation, Third Edition is the most lucid and effective introduction to the subject of IT / IS professionals interested in honing their skills in database design, implementation, and administration. This book provides the concept and choice of DBMS.
The book begins by reviewing the SQL statements. Topics such as the relational data model, normalization, data and Codd's Rules (and why they are important). "Dummies" -style talking down to the reader.
Supporting the book's step-by-step instruction are three NEW case studies illustrating database planning, analysis, design, and management practices. In addition to these real-world examples, which include the object-relational design techniques, an entirely NEW section of three chapters is devoted to database implementation and management issues.


* Principles needed to understand the basis of good design and implementation practices.
* Examples to illustrate the concept of work for the better comprehension.
* Methods for tailoring What do you think is going to do?
* Design approaches that ensure data accuracy and consistency.
* Examples of how design can inhibit or boost database application performance.
* Object-relational design techniques, benefits, and examples.
* Instructions on how to choose and use a normalization technique.
* Guidelines for understanding and applying Codd's rules.
* Tools to implement a relational design using SQL.
* Techniques for using CASE tools for database design.
