Providing comprehensive and practical coverage of core database concepts, it is an ideal text not only for those studying database management systems in the context of computer science, but also those on courses in the areas of information systems and business information technology.This textbook also comes packaged with a fully tailored CourseMate and an Instructor's website will also be available to adopters.
