A hands-on beginner’s guide to designing relational databases and managing data using Microsoft Access
Relational databases represent one of the most enduring and pervasive forms of information technology. Yet most texts covering relational database design assume an extensive, sophisticated computer science background. There are texts on relational database software tools like Microsoft Access that assume less background, but they focus primarily on details of the user interface, with inadequate coverage of the underlying design issues of how to structure databases. Growing out of Professor Jonathan Eckstein’s twenty years’ experience teaching courses on management information systems (MIS) at Rutgers Business School, this book fills this gap in the literature by providing a rigorous introduction to relational databases for readers without prior computer science or programming experience.
Relational Database Design for Business, with Microsoft Access helps readers to quickly develop a thorough, practical understanding of relational database design. It takes a step-by-step, real-world approach, using application examples from business and finance every step the way. As a result, readers learn to think concretely about database design and how to address issues that commonly arise when developing and manipulating relational databases. By the time they finish the final chapter, students will have the knowledge and skills needed to build relational databases with dozens of tables. They will also be able to build complete Microsoft Access applications around such databases. This text:
- Takes a hands-on approach using numerous real-world examples drawn from the worlds of business, finance, and more
- Gets readers up and running, fast, with the skills they need to use and develop relational databases with Microsoft Access
- Moves swiftly from conceptual fundamentals to advanced design techniques
- Leads readers step-by-step through data management and design, relational database theory, multiple tables and the possible relationships between them, Microsoft Access features such as forms and navigation, formulating queries in SQL, and normalization
Introductory Relational Database Design for Business, with Microsoft Access is the definitive guide for undergraduate and graduate students in business, finance, and data analysis without prior experience in database design. While Microsoft Access is its primary “hands-on” learning vehicle, most of the skills in this text are transferrable to other relational database software such as MySQL.

針對初學者的實作指南:使用 Microsoft Access 設計關聯式資料庫和管理資料
關聯式資料庫是資訊科技中最持久且普遍的形式之一。然而,大多數關於關聯式資料庫設計的書籍假設讀者擁有廣泛且複雜的計算機科學背景。雖然有些關於關聯式資料庫軟體工具(如 Microsoft Access)的書籍假設讀者的背景較少,但它們主要集中於使用者介面的細節,對於如何結構化資料庫的基本設計問題的涵蓋不足。這本書源自喬納森·艾克斯坦教授在羅格斯商學院教授管理資訊系統(MIS)課程二十年的經驗,填補了文獻中的這一空白,為沒有計算機科學或程式設計經驗的讀者提供了關聯式資料庫的嚴謹介紹。
使用 Microsoft Access 的商業關聯式資料庫設計幫助讀者快速發展對關聯式資料庫設計的全面、實用理解。它採取逐步的現實世界方法,使用來自商業和金融的應用範例。結果,讀者學會具體思考資料庫設計以及如何解決在開發和操作關聯式資料庫時常見的問題。當他們完成最後一章時,學生將具備建立擁有數十個表格的關聯式資料庫所需的知識和技能。他們還能夠圍繞這些資料庫建立完整的 Microsoft Access 應用程式。這本書:
- 採取實作方法,使用來自商業、金融等領域的眾多現實範例
- 快速讓讀者掌握使用和開發關聯式資料庫所需的技能,並能迅速上手
- 迅速從概念基礎轉向進階設計技術
- 逐步引導讀者了解資料管理和設計、關聯式資料庫理論、多個表格及其可能的關係、Microsoft Access 的功能(如表單和導航)、在 SQL 中制定查詢以及正規化
使用 Microsoft Access 的商業入門關聯式資料庫設計是針對沒有資料庫設計經驗的本科生和研究生的權威指南。雖然 Microsoft Access 是其主要的「實作」學習工具,但本書中的大多數技能可轉移至其他關聯式資料庫軟體,如 MySQL。
