Features: This book takes a database application system as an example to systematically introduce fundamental database knowledge, database design methods, database structure design, database operations, database object operations, database concurrent operations, and database transaction processing. It particularly emphasizes client/server development technology and Web database development technology. The book consists of 15 chapters, first introducing the basic knowledge of databases and Visual FoxPro 8. It then covers currently popular application development technologies—structured programming and object-oriented programming. Finally, it dedicates significant to guiding readers through the entire process of Visual FoxPro database project development using the "Teaching Management Database"—requirements analysis, database design, data operations, form design, report design, system integration, and online publishing. It especially highlights the application of controls and components in multimedia database development and client/server development technology. This book is written based on the author's extensive experience in writing, teaching, and developing databases. It is designed to be easy to understand, comprehensive, and progressive, with exercises and experiments at the end of each chapter. It can serve as a textbook for colleges, universities, or database training courses, as well as a supplementary material for computer proficiency exams and computer level exams. It is recommended for 76–95 teaching hours, with 2/5 of the time dedicated to hands-on operations. If some chapters are appropriately removed, it can also be used as a textbook for introductory training.
