You cannot go wrong with Hector Garcia-Molina, the author with highest h-index in computer science and Ullman. This book is an easy reading, something uncommon for the books of this genre. It...
I agree with other reviewer, many cross references in the book, it makes extremely hard to read the material. English is not native for me, I have very hard time understanding the text. I have...
I picked up this book while developing ASP with an Access backend for my own web site. I found this to be a terrific reference to learn how to communicate with ADO and it made database...
In my opinion, this book isn't well written. The authors seem to talk about certain subjects before they even teach you what they are talking about. The book also likes to jump around. Even...
I purchased this book after reading all the rave reviews, and I must say I didn't think it was all that great. Much of the code is old and outdated. I tried to follow the examples in the book and...
Microsoft Access is a powerful multi-user relational database management system (RDBMS). The only problem is, it's as easy to build a pile of goo where 75% of the database's business rules reside...
I did not find this book very useful. I suppose I was looking for more of a book on Access and the application of relational databases. I should have picked up "Grover Park George ON ACCESS" and...
Nice and concise, but examples are platform-specific
Very clear and concise coverage of many essential database issues. I really appreciate the brevity and lack of unnecessary jargon and formalism. However it's definitely worth pointing out that...
item was delivered in a good condition but it was not shipped to my address even though I specified accurate address with apt number. I had to pick it up from post office!
I bought this book to learn some advance database programming specifically with Oracle which the book claims it does cover. However, what I found was a perl mysql programming book that has devoted...
This book will be called Perl and MySQL database programming, the book comment say that this include access to many databases, including Oracle and PostgreSQL, when you read this, you can see that...
I need to learn about MySQL for my small business. My son the computer tech said this was the book I needed to get me up to speed quickly. He was right. It's concise, apparently complete, and easy...
If this was a quick reference book, then the information contained would be useful. This, unfortunately is a big book containing a little book's amount of useful info. Save your money and print...
overwhelmed by any SQL syntax? Then read this book!
This is a pretty good book. It's strength lies in it's limited scope: you learn relational database query languages, and get a short primer on Access (Microsoft) and WinRDBI (by author). It...
I loved, loved, loved this text. I wasn't really thrilled with having to take a database management class but I couldn't have enjoyed this text more. It was clear and thorough with great...
Our database teacher recommended this book. I bought this book and found it not an easy read. After going through the whole book still I could not understand how the database design process works....
Noticed this book, as it is a recently-published book on database design. Not as detailed and researched as one of the typical O'Reilly publisher books, but nonetheless, still pretty interesting...
This is a great book if you were a DBA and trying to find out what the upgrades were since 7.3. I would not consider this a reference book, but a good refresher. If a novice were to pick it up,...
Not sure where the good rating came from, but this book is poorly written and seems to not have been researched much, if at all. Limited test cases show that material was probably grabbed from...
I work a lot crunching data, and it turns out that i got a whole lot of good tips from this book... The problem is that somehow the tips got very repetitive. For beginners would be very helpful as...
Content is excellent, with good examples. I was able to solve a prloblem the very first time I used it. The issue I have is more with Amazon in that I ordered this book in a shipment of 4 others,...
This is the worst computer book ever written, this book has numerous errors and is absolutely not helpful. I was very disapointed, it does not contain any text regarding oracle forms, no...
This book is very useful for the beginners in Oracle Forms. Unlike the other standard books,it explains the Forms from the beginning, step by step, with examples and intelligible way.
While this book is good for learning Oracle Forms 6i, and allows you to learn in the step-by-step as advertised, the layout of this book is horrendous. The chapters are literally 2-3 pages long....
Prior to picking up John's book I had some familiarity with 'desktop' databases like Lotus Approach and MS Access, and had a beginner's understanding of the Basic Language, but felt to intimidated...
Did not like the part that the book covers for the most part DATA controls for MS-Access programming. Not benefecial if your are gonna be using referencial code based coding reference source.
This book is very interesting, but I believe it could have been written a little better for understanding. But the picture and guidance gives it a five star because even if you do not understand...

If you're not familiar with Oracle this book won't help you one bit. If you are, it's useless because you won't find anything on the topic you're looking for.
This book thoroughly describes storage structures, day-to-day tips for installing, maintaining, and upgrading 10g databases. I refer to it often when performing DBA functions. It can also be read...
Once again this book from Course Technology teaches you the step-by-step approach. It is well-written and suitable for a junior DBA embarking on the journey of Oracle PT. I will definitely...
The book is an outstanding compilation of influential database papers in the database world. Most of the papers are readable for a senior undergraduate audience, or a graduate audience, but...
Manning gives you a good exposition of the important ideas in putting together a database. The theory of relational databases is explained in enough detail that you should be able to apply this to...
This book is required for my database class; I wish it weren't. The sentence structure is absolutely atrocious. Whatever happened to publishers checking for complete sentences Because of the...
This 1100 page tome of a book is a case study in what happens when you try to be all things to all people. There's a good book on database theory in there somewhere (most of chapters...
This book is a great desktop reference if you use MS Access for reporting. If you have never used a technical cookbook, make sure that you stop by a local book store so you can familiarize you self...

Useful info and perspective of running Oracle's database on Linux
This is a well written book for anyone who wants to learn lots of useful Linux specific details and perspective about set up, administration, monitoring, and tuning Oracle 10g on Linux.
As an experienced Oracle DBA, I wanted a nice text that covers Linux specifics to Oracle 10g. This book is okay not perfect but the only real Oracle 10g for Linux book on the market.
"Object Oriented Database Design" is a book for beginners and, as far as I have been able to investigate, it is a perfect walkthrough along the background of object structures. Figures,...
This book is a relatively easily read intro., but is nowhere near being the definitive work on OODB. This book is useful but only in conjunction with other works. For example you will do at least...
Every now and then I find a review somewhere else in cyberspace that I wish was posted on Amazon.com. Here is one from the ACCU.org website. "Reviewed by Silvia de Beer in Overload OL37 (May...
I have been using Access and VBA for a few years, without any formal training in relational database or programming. In this concise book, Steven Roman managed to give a strong foundation in the...
I was directed to pickup the Access Cookbook, also by O'Reilly and when I saw this one I thought that kill two birds with one stone and get both, but this one dragged on, nothing jelled for me and...

If you are interested in learning about database client/server technology (SQL Server, MYSQL, Oracle, DB2, etc this book is probably not for you. If you want to learn SQL this book is probably not...
This is just what I was looking for, it's clear and covers the basics, the fourdational information about databases. I'm very pleased with the purchase.
This may be a good book, but after 50 pages and finding that I need Microsoft Access, as well as Visio to follow along, and then my Visio version doesn't have the required template...it is just a...
This book is remarkable for the clear manner in which it explains the basics of relational databases in general and Oracle in particular. I am currently in training for Oracle Certified...
I used this book as a text for my Database Systems course. It's well written in plain English and easy to understand as opposed to many of the textbooks that I've used thus far. It uses easy to...
