- Written by one of the world's leading database authorities, Database Concepts, 4e, introduces the essential concepts students need to create and use small databases.
- The new edition is updated for access 2007.
- Access WorkBench sections, included in each chapter, illustrate concepts and techniques using Access-the database management system most commonly used in first databases courses. The Access Workbench topics start with creating a database and a single table in Section One, and move through various topics to finish with Web database processing against an Access database in Section 7, and using Access (together with Excel) to product PivotTable OLAP reports in Section 8.
- NEW! Access 2007 coverage! All necessary basics are included so students can effectively build and use Access databases.
- Review Questions, Exercises, and Projects. Each chapter concludes with review questions, exercises, and three projects (Garden Glory, James River Jewelry, and Queen Anne Curiosity Shop). This helps students grasp concepts by allowing them to apply the concepts they are learning in the book to business situations.
- Flexibility on the software you use in class. Because of the book's conceptual nature, any number of database programs can be used in class. This approach helps students focus on database concepts rather than the features and functions of a particular product.
