![]() Although most of MS Access has remained the similar throughout the multiple upgrades between the 20 versions, there are some differences. Ideally, the text would have been updated to reflect the MS Office 2019 version. Upon review, I would recommend this book and would even consider incorporating the introductory chapters into my first-level courses while leaving the advanced chapters to my second-level students. Although the text covers Tables, Forms, and Queries, it does not touch upon Reports, which I would have found helpful, even as a brief reference. The author elaborates on theories and approaches to new concepts in a relatable manner that is easy to follow. Pre-build, introductory databases are available as support material for the exercises (where applicable). Newly introduced concepts are followed by hands-on examples that reinforce the knowledge being conveyed. Given that this textbook was designed for second-level students, with no intended prerequisite, the level of detail that is included to familiarize the students with the MS Access software is well detailed and appropriate. This text provides a reasonably comprehensive review of relational database principles using Microsoft Access.
