For undergraduate database management students or business professionals Here’s practical help for understanding, creating, and managing small databases—from two of the world’s leading database authorities. Database Concepts by David Kroenke and David Auer gives undergraduate database management students and business professionals alike a firm understanding of the concepts behind the software, using Access 2013 to illustrate the concepts and techniques. Three projects run throughout the text, to show students how to apply the concepts to real-life business situations. The text provides flexibility for choosing the software instructors want to use in class; allows students to work with new, complete databases, including Wedgewood Pacific Corporation, Heather Sweeney Designs, and Wallingford Motors; and includes coverage for some of the latest information on databases available.
Provides a firm understanding of the concepts behind the software:
• NEW! Material to illustrate the concepts of SQL joins has been added to Chapter 3, to make this material easier for students to understand.
Uses Access 2013 to illustrate the concepts and techniques while also providing flexibility to choose the software used in class:
• NEW! Microsoft Office 2013, and particularly Microsoft Access 2013, are now the basic software used in the book, and are shown running on Microsoft Windows 8.1.
Includes coverage of some of the latest information available:
• NEW! DBMS software coverage has been updated to include Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Express Edition, and Oracle MySQL 5.7 Community Server.
• NEW! Material on SQL programming via SQL/Persistent Stored Modules (SQL/PSM) has been added to Appendix E to provide a better-organized and expanded discussion of this material, which had previously been spread among other parts of the book. This material also provides additional SQL topics for instructors.
• NEW! Material on big data and the evolving NoSQL movement is now briefly introduced in Chapter 1, while the main, expanded discussion of this material is still in Chapter 8. Big data remains the theme for Chapter 8, and includes the material on the development of nonrelational unstructured data stores (such as Cassandra and HBase) and the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) first introduced in DBC e06.
• NEW! A new online appendix–Appendix K, 'Big Data'–has been added to provide new, more detailed material on the NoSQL databases used in big data setups than that included in Chapter 8 for those instructors who still want to cover this topic in depth.
• NEW! The Oracle NetBeans IDE is used in Chapter 7 in place of the Eclipse PDT IDE. Since an integrated downloadable installation file for both the Java JDK and NetBeans is available, this results in a much easier software installation of these products in Appendix I. The NetBeans IDE is also arguably easier to use then the Eclipse PDT, which will make it easier for students to create the HTML and PHP Web pages used in Chapter 7.
