Try

Modern Database Management , 7. ed.
Jeffrey Hoffer, Fred McFadden, Mary A. Prescott ISBN: 0131273884

an introductory course with practical angles, but also some depth regarding the theory. I brigdes well from Access to more "serious" DBMS's.

(Another "introduction" is Date's "An introducion to Data Base Systems", but beware: this is not on an introductory level - it is very heavy stuff!). Received on Wed Nov 10 2004 - 13:56:05 CST
