Textbook for an introductory database class. It was... adequate. I was already familiar with Access 2000/2003, so this did a fine job of updating my knowledge to the new features in 2007. The exercises were relevant to the chapter information (not as common as one might think) but certain sections were a little excessive for an introductory textbook. Plus, of course, it was deadly dull.
