Riassunto:

Marklyn and Whitehorn cover essential relational database theory and explain how to build databases securely - seeking to do this without bagging the reader down with too much detail and endless formulae. They start by explaining interface components and letting the reader build working databases. Along the way the authors guide the reader through potential disasters and provide the techniques to avoid them. The text seeks to bridge the gap between theoretical database books and manuals.
