A test bank with multiple choice, short answer questions, and short projects is available for use with the McGraw-Hill/Irwin electronic test bank software.
Lecture notes and overheads are available as slide shows in Microsoft PowerPoint format. The slides contain all the figures and additional notes. The slides are organized into lectures and can be rearranged to suit individual preferences.
Several databases and exercises are available on disk. The instructor can add new data, modify the exercises, or use them to expand the discussion in the text.
Sally’s Pet Store database application is provided in back-end database format for Microsoft Access, SQL Server, and Oracle. The front end is provided in Microsoft Access, Oracle, Visual Basic 6, and ASP Web server pages. The application is used extensively in the text to illustrate topics. The Pet Store example is in an earlier stage of design than Rolling Thunder for two main reasons. (1) Students can compare the applications and gain insight into the development process. (2) Students can be given assignments to provide additional features to the Pet Store application.
The Rolling Thunder database is available for Oracle, SQL Server and Microsoft Access, but the application forms only run in Microsoft Access. It is a self-contained application that illustrates many of the concepts and enables students to examine many aspects of a complete database application, including the code that drives the application.
