By K. Scott Proctor
"A Manager's Guide to Database Technology" provides a straightforward introduction and overview of important database concepts. Utilizing real-life scenarios, this book highlights the importance of databases and database technology.
Databases in general will play an increasingly important role in our increasingly digital world, in my opinion. Along these lines, I recommend this book as a good primer for a wide audience to the field of database technology.

Useless and non-educational! Pay a little extra and get a decent data modeling book! There is nothing here for managers as well even though it is said to be for managers.
