Features: This book primarily introduces the basic knowledge of databases, the fundamental theories of relational databases, the standard language SQL for relational databases, the normalization theory of relations, database design, and the visual database management system Visual FoxPro 6.0. When introducing Visual FoxPro 6.0, each chapter is accompanied by numerous examples, and each chapter concludes with a moderate number of exercises and hands-on practice questions, all woven together through a comprehensive case study. At the end, a dedicated chapter is set aside for a comprehensive case study. This revision has made extensive changes throughout the book to keep pace with the development of database technology. Grounded in practical application, the book also provides a relatively in-depth discussion of relational database theory. The book's strengths lie in its readability, strong applicability, conciseness, and ease of understanding. It can serve as a textbook for computer application majors in various higher vocational colleges and technical colleges, as well as a reference book for computer application developers.
