数据库系统：面向应用的方法（第2版影印版国外优秀信息科学与技术系列教学用书）

　　第1章-第7章应该以它们在本书中出现的顺序来进行讲授。第8章包含了许多信息，学生需要利用这些信息将前几章所学到的知识运用到实践中。但是，后续的章节并不是很依赖于第8章。第3部分中的第9章～第12章也应当按照顺序进行讲授。第4部分中软件工程方面的章节利用了第2部分和第3部分中的章节内容，但是关于软件工程的章节可以和数据库方面的内容并行讲授。本书高级主题中的第16章和第17章依赖于第2部分中的前7章。最后，需要指出的是，书中打了“*”的小节是可选的，因此如果教师愿意，可以将其省略。目录中前面有CS图标的小节是关于案例研究的。另外，带有星号的习题会比其他题目难一些，而带有两个星号的题目更难。
