But developing your own database can be tricky. Whether you want to keep records for a small business or run a large e-commerce website, developing the right database system can be a major challenge. Which is where Database Development For Dummies comes in.

    Review must be at least 10 words

      Too many words, not enough ideas or pictures.Relationships are best illustrated with pictures, not paragraphs.The first half of the book is academic blah-de-blah regarding an overly stifled waterfall model of development. The interesting parts don't come until 1/2 way through the book. Most "dummies" would be bored out of their gord by then.Good examples are needed for many of the academic concepts presented only in the abstract in paragraphs. Again, who's got time for words when a picture could illustrate the (currently unillustrated) point.
