SQL and NoSQL Database Fourth Edition

This textbook comprises 12 chapters: eight focused on relational database concepts using Transact-SQL, and four dedicated to NoSQL concepts and practices using MongoDB. Each code example is paired with a matching exercise, allowing you to observe how the code functions and then apply that logic to solve a similar problem independently.To reinforce learning, every section includes multiple-choice questions to test your comprehension, while each chapter concludes with discussion questions designed to encourage critical thinking. The book also features three comprehensive case studies for practical application.A key feature of this text is the use of a custom, streamlined database. This approach allows you to manually verify query results before writing SQL or NoSQL statements, fostering a deeper understanding of data logic (all dataset details are provided in Appendix). For example, if a query asks for the highest-priced product, you can locate the answer in the appendix to validate your subsequent SQL solution.
