N2  - Database Management: Theory and Application is appropriate for an applied programmer/analyst - oriented course in database management. It is recommended that students have had at least one COBOL course, as this is the language used in the examples. It is also beneficial if students have already developed sequential and random access programs, which provide a basis for comparing the traditional file-processing methods with the database approach
