Database books currently tend to fall into two categories: highly theoretical and detailed textbooks and manuals which teach how to use the software but not the underlying theory. Neither type of book explains why the reader would want to do many of the things they describe.

They start by explaining interface components and letting you build working databases. Along the way the authors guide you through potential disasters and provide the techniques to avoid them.
