Introductory Relational Database Design for Business, with Microsoft Access – eBook

Description

**Book Description:**

Relational databases have established themselves as one of the most ubiquitous and long-lasting technologies in the information age. However, many textbooks tackling the topic of relational database design demand a solid foundation in computer science, presenting a significant barrier for those without advanced technical expertise. Conversely, there are resources focused on relational database software like Microsoft Access that often prioritize user interface features while neglecting the fundamental principles of effective database structuring.

Drawing on Professor **Jonathan Eckstein’s** extensive two-decade experience teaching Management Information Systems (MIS) at Rutgers Business School, this ebook uniquely addresses the existing gaps in literature. It offers a comprehensive yet approachable introduction to relational databases tailored specifically for readers who may lack previous programming or computer science backgrounds.

**_Introductory Relational Database Design for Business, with Microsoft Access_ (PDF)** is designed to facilitate a swift, practical grasp of relational database design. Adopting a real-world orientation, the ebook meticulously guides readers through the process, utilizing concrete examples from finance, business, and beyond. This thought-provoking approach equips learners to proactively tackle common design challenges encountered in the development and manipulation of relational databases. By the conclusion of this course, students will not only possess the skills to construct complex relational databases featuring numerous tables, but they will also be adept at building comprehensive Microsoft Access applications connected to these databases.
