Description: "Database Systems: Design, Implementation, and Management, Fourth Edition takes you clearly and effectively through the entire process of database development and implementation. The most comprehensive and detailed coverage of database basics is complemented with exercises and problems at the end of each chapter to encourage hands-on learning, and a two-chapter step-by-step running case.

Because the Internet has become so firmly established as an extension of the everyday business data environment, this revised edition contains a new chapter, "Databases and the Internet," that stresses the need for solid planning and management in order to maximize the resources that the Internet provides."--BOOK JACKET.
