Revised to reflect the needs of today’s students, this 10th edition of Database Processing assures that students will develop immediate, practical, marketable skills. By presenting SQL SELECT early, students will learn immediately how to query data and obtain results—seeing firsthand some of the ways that database technology will be useful to them.  Each topic appears in the context of accomplishing practical tasks. Its spiral approach to database design (incorporating all 3 way to create databases: from the integration of existing data, from new information, and the need to redesign an existing database) provides and excellent framework to help students learn this material.
