| Summary, etc. | This title is aimed at any student of business or computing who needs to learn the basics of Borland's Paradox database (Version 4.0) and should enable the student to set up and use any Paradox database. A student who has followed through the various stages of building the case-study application should have a good overview of the packages's capabilities, and be able to make effective use of "Borland's Paradox User Guide" for very advanced features not covered in the book. The book introduces the concept of the database through the use of a case study of a newsagent who wishes to keep details of newspaper deliveries and customer accounts. In part one of the book, one table containing customer details is used in examples and the student builds up and queries a second table holding details of newspapers through exercises at the end of the chapters. In part two of the book, the student is shown how to link these two tables through the use of a third table and design more complex data entry and report forms, make more complex queries and perform updates. Simple scripts are intriduced. Part three covers the basics of the application workshop, using the building blocks (tables, forms, reports, etc.) created in the first two parts of the book, to build a complete menu-driven application. The student learns through a series of sessions, which tell him or her exactly what steps to follow, and the keystrokes to make, to build and use a database. These steps are then reinforced through the use of exercises at the end of most sessions. A lecturer's supplement is available in the form of two discs which contains the completed sample application together with the test data used in the book. The disk also contains, in a series of different directories, the state of application as it should be at various key points, so that students who have forgotten, mislaid or corrupted their disks can be brought up to date without having to repeat stages already covered. |
