- Abstract
- Database books currently tend to fall into 2 categories: highly theoretical and detailed textbooks and manual which teach how to use the software but not the underlying theory. Neither type of books explains why the reader would want to do many of the things the book describe. Marklyn and Whitehorn cover essential relational database theory and explain how to build databases securely - without bogging them down into too much detail and endless formulae. They start by explaining interface components and letting you build working databases. Along the way the authors guide you through potential disasters and provide the techniques to avoid them. Inside relational databases is aimed at equipping students with the necessary skills to build practical databases in the 'real world' as well as ensuring that they have a suffcient theoretical grounding in the subject
