Not polished or put together very well

I had to buy this book for a Masters degree course. I think a fair amount of data is contained within the text but the organization style is not that good. The author drops hints that he has been writing this book for a long time and that it has helped some major names in the database world find inspiration... that's all well and good but a good book does this not make.
The price is obviously way too much for something that is not really a practical guide. Most of the people that buy it will likely only be buying it because they are forced to. What a shame...it would be much nicer to have a quality product to learn from. This is not it in my opinion. It could be done better.

I own many database books from Access 98 to SQL server 2005... this is the worst DB book that I've used to date. It reads more like a book for researchers focusing on impractical theory rather than practical application. If you're writing your doctorate on databases this might be your book. If you want to learn about databases there are many, many better options.

My first Amazon review.
I read the 7th Edition for my graduate student class in Databases. The 10ed is better organized and more applicable to current business applications, BUT, BUT, There are too many damn errors in the book that will Drive you crazy.
I have not done a DB, since I took the my grad class, 7 yrs ago. I'm studying the book for work with a deadline. I working the weekend to get this project done, BUT, I have stopped to write this Review. Heard of the movie a Bridge to Far, this is the An Errata to Many.
Save your money and Don't buy this book, until you see an Errata on

This book has very practical and easy to read content. There was less theory than I expected, but that ended up being a good thing.
