Inside Relational Databases with Examples in Access
The first two editions of Inside Relational Databases have both been best sellers. These new editions will also cover the relational database model but will use different engines to illustrate the model. In doing so, readers will be able to apply the model using their preferred database engine. Initially three versions are planned starting with Access, SQL Server and my SQL. The books show just how simple and useful databases can be. No prior knowledge is required i.e. real world examples show how to manage data efficiently. A significant amount of new material is included in the core of the book and particular emphasis is given to showing how to make a database run faster and more efficiently.

Read this for a university course in databases.
For what it is, its a good book. And I understand how this must be a near impossible book to write. Explain ER-diagrams with words. Explain normalization with words. Explain SQL with words. Not an easy task indeed. Hard enough for some of us to understand with a teacher and practical examples. So in that way they do a very good job in this book. I know more then before after reading it, I would not have understood it without help from the teacher, but this book did help. Also, I dont understand computer stuff easily. So for a third time, its a good book for what it is.
But its so booooooring.... I do not matter how many jokes you try to push in there, its still booooring.
And one last thing. Please dont tell me that this is so easy, "see, easy!" I do not help me as a reader, a reader that have not understood what you are talking about, that the thing is easy. Either you are dicks or I am stupid, I would not like any of the answers, but I dont think you are dicks. Rather write: "when you get it, it will be easy". Because thats how it is with most things, when you understand, it is easy. Please give me hope rather then tell me Im an idiot. Please...
