A practical introduction to databases and data warehouses

Nenad Jukic’s textbook brings operational databases and analytical data warehouses into one course of study, pairing foundational concepts with applied practice. Its third edition expands SQL coverage and adds a third recurring review example; ERDPlus lets students query the book’s preloaded datasets. A retail sales department database anchors explanations across both database types, while examples, mini-cases, and exercises provide opportunities to work through each topic. Online chapter-introduction videos and appendices on stored procedures, functions, and blockchain extend the accompanying resources and optional material.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students studying database design, SQL, or data warehousing
  • Instructors seeking a text with exercises, mini-cases, and online chapter videos
  • Learners who want to practice data modeling and queries with ERDPlus

Database Systems: Introduction to Databases and Data Warehouses covers the design and use of both operational and analytical database systems in detail. A solid theoretical foundation and meaningful hands-on experiences are provided. This understanding prepares students to apply their knowledge in today's business environments.

 

Edition 3.0 includes more coverage of SQL. Additionally, ERDPlus (free web-based software) now allows students to run SQL queries on the preloaded datasets from the book. To that end, a third running review example has been added for additional and varied practice opportunities.

 

FEATURES:

Solidify knowledge with examples, mini cases, and exercises

Save time with running examples

The ZAGI Retail Company Sales Department Database Example is used to illustrate the main concepts for both operational databases and data warehouses. Use of a running example enables quick and straightforward coverage, because students are already familiar with the details of the case.
