Developing Databases with Access, 4th edition, is a new, easy to follow course
of instruction in relational database design and development. The text carefully
guides students through the vitally important steps of conceptual schema design,
normalisation and relational schema definition, through to implementation with
Microsoft Access. Developed specifically for Australian secondary students in Years
10 to 12, it provides students with detailed database examples, each following the
software development cycle.
Each database example is supported by conceptual schema diagrams, dataflow
diagrams and Windows screenshots taken from Microsoft Access 2007. The text can
be both used as a day to day workbook and as a reference manual.

Each text is packaged with a CD containing a fully bookmarked PDF of the student
textbook, graphics and data for the examples and exercises. It also contains the
fully developed databases from the examples as well as solutions and PDF results
to all the querying exercises.
