1. above average

   Unfortunalty i'm no database expert but i hope i soon will be a little better. This book covers the important things you need to know about databases in alot less text than other books available. In short it seems to be relatively consise in database terms :) from what i have read so far anyway. All the key topics are covered and its a good book for someone studying a single module in databases on an academic course. For someone studying databases in far more depth i'm sure there are far more comprehensive books available.

   Just wonderful examples, and linear theory explanation. Graphic is a bit "old style" but Who cares about it?
