Developing Databases with Access, fourth edition, is an 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 book, 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.
