Features: This book takes a database application system as an example to systematically introduce basic 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; then introducing currently popular application development technologies—structured programming and object-oriented programming; and finally, using a substantial amount of content to guide readers through the entire process of Visual FoxPro database project development, the "Teaching Management Database," including requirements analysis, database design, data operations, form design, report design, system integration, and online publication. It especially emphasizes the application of controls and components in multimedia database development as well as client/server development technology. The book is written based on the author's extensive experience in writing, teaching, and developing databases. It is comprehensive, easy to understand, and progresses from simple to complex. Each chapter includes exercises and experiments, making it suitable as a textbook for colleges or database training courses, as well as a supplementary material for computer proficiency exams and computer level exams. It is recommended for 76–95 hours of instruction, with 2/5 of the time dedicated to hands-on operations. If some chapters are appropriately removed, it can also serve as a textbook for introductory training.
