Database Management System (DBMS)A Practical Approach
Many books on Database Management Systems (DBMS) are available in the market, they are incomplete very formal and dry. My attempt is to make DBMS very simple so that a student feels as if the teacher is sitting behind him and guiding him. This text is bolstered with many examples and Case Studies. In this book, the experiments are also included which are to be performed in DBMS lab. Every effort has been made to alleviate the treatment of the book for easy flow of understanding of the students as well as the professors alike.This textbook of DBMS for all graduate and post-graduate programmes of Delhi University, GGSIPU, Rajiv Gandhi Technical University, UPTU, WBTU, BPUT, PTU and so on.

Out of 28 DBMS books on the market, this is the only one with both a glossary & around 123 worked examples, which aren't locked behind a online platform or behind solution manuals only available to instructors.
The EER notation that the book uses is the Chen notation (for entities) and majority of the examples use either the min,max or standard Chen notation for cardinality.
This should make it great for self-study use.
The other book I've come across Introduction to Database Management System by the author Aditya Mittal also comes with ~109 worked examples. This one doesn't include a glossary, sadly.
Only 8/28 DBMS books on the market have a glossary...
That alone should make someone consider diving into this book.
4 / 5 stars.
