Databases Illuminated (Jones and Bartlett)

The book was received promptly and in good condition. I would deal with this vendor again. As far as the book itself, reading it has already filled in some gaps in my knowledge.

Sound theoretical foundations!

For anyone interested in learning the database theory, this is a must-read book. The author did an excellent job in explaining difficult E-R relationships, data structures, system catalog, UML diagrams, and the components of distributed systems. The lab exercises can be implemented by using the commercial database software: Oracle 9i, MS SQL Server, MS Access, MySQL and MS Visio. This book is very practical and much better than other database textbooks.
