This product was recommended by Harriet Chan from CocoFinder
This book provides comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of the fundamentals of database systems. It also contains coherent explanations and practical examples of various concepts. The edition has been reorganized to allow more flexibility in the way the course is taught. The book emphasizes database application development and database systems issues. New overview chapters at the beginning of parts make it possible to skip other chapters if you don’t want the detail. More applications and examples have been added throughout the book, including SQL and Oracle examples.

Fundamentals of Database Systems by Ramez Elmasri
This product was recommended by Dileep Agrahari from MyBestLaptop
It is over 1200 pages but it seems a bit wordy and in some places it is crammed with as many buzzwords. This book makes the simple thing much more difficult rather than being easy to understand. The jargons and the theories being long and complex makes the book more boring. The interest to read gets less, I would suggest don’t buy this book unless it is required.
An Introduction to Database Systems by C.J. Date
This product was recommended by Dileep Agrahari from MyBestLaptop
This book is excellent and it is very clearly written. This book doesn’t use too much jargon and complex phrases that can’t be understood. The pages are a lot plus information can be too much at some points. The theory can go overboard but, you will learn every aspect of the database system. There are some snarky but informative jokes with a solid understanding of how things work.
Head First SQL by Lynn Beighley
This product was recommended by Dileep Agrahari from MyBestLaptop
It is a great book for the beginners learning MYSQL syntax. It is engaging, interactive and a fun way to learn. It does not overload the new learner also it does not use a lot of jargons and complex sentences. There is some chapter where they talk about the downloading content, but that downloading content is not available. So I would recommend this book because you can learn database management in an easy and effective way only for that downloading content perspective. This book has a problem.
