Databases are explained very well |
I recently purchased this book and have only gotten through Chapter 2. So far I think that the book gives a good explanation of databases.
Not far enough into the book to offer much more, but the writing is good. The author makes it easy to understand the technical jargon.

Great book |
|
Thumbs up. There are lots of reviews there already, and what they say are mostly true in my opinion. It is a good book to read to get general basic knowledge of Database. However might not be as good if you want to learn a specific database software. The book is written in simple and clear words, and is very organized, which is a huge bonus in my rating. |

Simplified & easy to understand |
|
The book is very helpful for novice learners of databases. It provides step-by-step guide to those who are new in database design and Microsoft Access. Key concepts like normalization are presented very clearly with relevant examples in business. |

Not "Demystifying" at all! |
|
I found this book to be really dry and not at all demystifying! It went in depth into the history of databases, who created them, and why it was groundbreaking. I'm sure that's very interesting to some people, but not to someone who is trying to make sense of it all. The author seems to have had a difficult time determining what is necessary for comprehension and what is merely icing on the cake for trivia fans. Since he couldn't make the determination, he just included it all! If you are a computer technology science major or something, you might like this book. If you just want a book to help you to understand databases in general (as a foundation), this is not the book for you. |
