Inside Relational Databases: with examples in Access Book

Database books currently tend to fall into two categories: highly theoretical and detailed textbooks and manuals which teach how to use the software but not the underlying theory. Neither type of book explains why the reader would want to do many of the things they describe. Marklyn and Whitehorn cover essential relational database theory and explain how to build databases securely - without bogging them down into too much detail and endless formulae.
