I recently purchased this book and have only gotten through Chapter 2. So far I think that the book gives a good explanation of databases.
Not far enough into the book to offer much more, but the writing is good. The author makes it easy to understand the technical jargon.

I found this book to deliver as promised. If you have a basic understanding of databases and need to ‘level up’, this book is a GREAT starting place.

Finally, an accessible and practical window onto the wonderful world of database. This is no ‘dummies’ book, but really addresses the needs of that most common of souls – the professional developer that has been exposed to relational database without really getting the formal training they need. Oppel approaches the subject methodically, using the skills that he has honed over the years in his teaching. Yet, this is no academic exercise. The author seasons his explanations liberally with the pragmatic lessons that only an experienced practitioner brings to the subject.

The book is very helpful for novice learners of databases. It provides step-by-step guide to those who are new in database design and Microsoft Access. Key concepts like normalization are presented very clearly with relevant examples in business.

What makes this text even more valuable is that it takes you beyond the basics as you work your way through it. It is an inexpensive and great book.
