Query: Not such a good text on Databases

First, the printing layout looks like something from the 1970's. No color, no illustration, no pictures, no diagrams, no digital online tie-in. It's like the authors/publishers hasn't taken a look at today's text books in 20 yrs. Not really up to the standard of today's text books. Examples are very few and are not explained in detail. I've looked at several database books, but bought this one to supplement Stanford's online course. It's not a good text book. Difficult to read, difficult to learn from, few examples, few real-world business cases....add to that the fact that it's not a very captivating design and layout -- makes the entire thing difficult to read and study from. Try another book. There are better choices.
