Features: This series of teaching materials is designed from the perspectives of engineering, development, and research, focusing on practical teaching elements. From the perspective of the social demand for computer professionals' skills, it systematically plans the methods and content of computer experiments and practices. It develops teaching content at different levels, such as verification-based training and research-based development, to meet the teaching needs of junior college, undergraduate, and certain graduate levels. It presents a brand-new image of systematicity, openness, classicism, and applicability in China's computer teaching field. The authors are carefully selected and their accumulated teaching experience is compiled into teaching materials. Each book is meticulously reviewed and strictly evaluated by the editorial committee to ensure quality. This book adopts a medium-sized and easily understandable typical database application system development project as a practical case study. It comprehensively introduces the stages of database application system development and the relevant development and description technologies according to the development process of database engineering. The database of this book's practical case study is implemented using the desktop database Paradox and the server database MSSQLServer2000, while the client application is developed using the Delphi7 integrated development environment, and the software installation program is developed using InstallShield. This book elaborates on the fundamental knowledge, architecture, development framework, and design patterns of database application system development. It provides an in-depth explanation of the relevant technologies and implementation methods for migrating a database application system from a desktop application to a server application, and discusses issues related to the distribution and implementation of database application systems. The goal of this book is to elevate readers' database application system development capabilities from simple development to an overall comprehensive design level. This book is particularly suitable for readers who want to improve their overall database application system development capabilities, including senior students in computer and information technology-related fields, as well as software developers who are currently engaged in or may engage in database application system development work. This book can be used as teaching material for comprehensive design courses on database application systems in universities and colleges, as well as a supplementary textbook for database engineering practice.
