Synopsis

Oracle is currently the most widely used database language in industry. This book is ideal for courses where the primary aim is to produce graduates who can deliver working database systems using this industry-standard software. It is based firmly on a case study approach and the case develops throughout the text which enables students to see how the theory works in practice in the real-world. This book provides complete, accessible, coverage of the curriculum within a reasonable extent and is accompanied by an extensive lecturer and student web site which includes Oracle software.

Book Overview: 'This book brings a valuable new approach to the teaching of systems building and database design. From my experience I find the integrated approach to systems building that this book follows particularly useful for undergraduate and postgraduate courses. The adoption of case studies worked and iterated all the way from the requirements through to code is particularly useful and illuminating. Additionally, this book is particularly pleasant to read. It manages to balance brilliantly complex theoretical concepts with practical technical skills and techniques through the example studies. The reader has a chance to learn modern software systems building, get a good foundation in SQL and ORACLE, see the relevance of modern tools and techniques to realistic software engineering projects and have fun at the same time!' - Dr Miltiadis Petridis, Head of Department of Computer Science, University of Greenwich 'Systems Building with Oracle achieves the rare feat of combining sound database theory with realistic database practice. What's more, it succeeds in integrating the theory and practice through an extended case study. The result is a very readable database text that will meet the needs of serious database students and Oracle developers alike.' - Dr Brian Spencer, School of Computing, University of Brighton
