Watson: Data Management: Databases and Organizations

Data Management: Databases and Organizations

Richard T. Watson, University of Georgia

Overview

Please note: Prospect Press distributes only the print version of this text, and we do not provide review copies. We will provide a printed desk copy to adopters after we receive an order for at least five print copies. An ebook version is available from Amazon.

This is not your traditional database book. It differs in three fundamental ways. First, it is deeper than most database textbooks in its coverage of data modeling and SQL. Second, the treatments of data modeling and SQL are intertwined because the author’s teaching experience indicates that students more readily understand the intent of data modeling when they grasp the long-term goal— querying a well-designed relational database. Third, the book is broader than most database books, encompassing the design and maintenance of computer-based organization memory.
