The second edition of the best-selling Inside Relational Databases is revised and updated to bring you the most reader-friendly explanation of the relational model and its importance to database designers and builders. Clear explanations make use of examples rather than equations to show you how an understanding of the relational model can make your databases faster, more flexible and thoroughly fit for their purpose. Dr Mark Whitehorn has an extensive understanding of relational database theory and his popular and long running database column in the UK's "Personal Computer World" has already made database theory accessible to thousands. Bill Marklyn has an intimate knowledge of relational databases and was the Development Manager who oversaw the entire design of the first two major releases of Microsoft's highly successful database product, Access. Together they make a great team, illuminating a tricky subject with substance and style.
