Database Concepts, 10th edition

Database Concepts is your hands-on guide to creating and managing small databases. This flexible text from 2 of the world's leading database authorities focuses on database concepts (rather than the features and functions of a particular product). As a result, it can be used with whichever software suits your needs. You'll practice working with 3 complete sample databases that run throughout key portions of the text. You'll also apply concepts and techniques to real business situations as you work through 3 ongoing projects.

The 10th Edition emphasizes the cloud's essential role in database concepts, beginning in Ch. 1 with a thorough introduction to the cloud environment and its underlying technology. The text has been updated to reflect Microsoft 365, with Access for Microsoft 365 (shown running on Microsoft Windows 11) as the basic software used. Screenshots and examples feature the latest possible releases of Microsoft 365 (Office 2021), MySQL, Microsoft Azure and ArangoDB.
