A foundational guide to database design and management

Andy Oppel’s guide organizes core database concepts around the path from initial design to implementation. It introduces SQL for creating and accessing database objects, then moves through normalization, logical and physical design, and data and process modeling. Examples draw on both Microsoft Access and Oracle, placing the material across two widely used database environments. Later chapters extend the scope to security, OLAP, application connections, and the incorporation of XML and object content. Chapter skill lists, question-and-answer sections, hands-on exercises, notes, and self-tests give the book a structured, practice-oriented framework for building and checking fundamental knowledge.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Beginning learners of database design and SQL
  • Students seeking exercises and chapter-end self-tests
  • Microsoft Access and Oracle users studying shared database concepts

Then, you'll discover how to implement logical design using normalization, transform the logical design into a physical database, and handle data and process modeling. You'll also get details on database security, online analytical processing (OLAP), connecting databases to applications, and integrating XML and object content into databases.
