This text is designed for an introductory course in database management. Such a course is usually required as part of an information systems curriculum in business schools, computer technology programs, and applied computer science departments. The Data Processing Management Association (DPMA), Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), and International Federation of Information Processing Societies (IFIPS) curriculum guidelines all outline this type of database management course. This book is an extensive revision of the third edition of Database Management by the same authors. Database Management has been used successfully for a decade at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as in management and professional development programs - Preface.
