Very nice book if used as a textbook
Very nice writen for new learners while covers enough aspects to step further. Long because it is from the merging of another 2 books. Recommended as a handbook for new commers to database area.

Poorly written
I was extremely disappointed by this book (I borrowed it, thank God). It is sparse on several subjects, exercises lacks answers and the book is in general poorly written. Besides that, the book is a merge of two books and the integration of these books should never have been attempted.You may go to the book's home page and download a couple of chapters for free and decide for yourself. Sorry, I cannot possibly recommend this book.

Another LONG-WINDED book.
This book is filled with copious repetition (see chapter one alone). Some concepts are not well presented. Explanations are too often compromised by awkward English usage. Wish the authors understand that a thick book does not make it a good one. Concise books are just what we need today.
