![]() ![]() Like the Statistics book, Databases has a visual metaphor for when a particular topic builds upon itself, becoming something of a slog to get through. As such, while The Manga Guide does cover a respectable amount of ground, it is not exhaustive. Most prose database books are going to run more than two hundred pages. ![]() Chapters introduce the fundamental concept of what a database is, how to design the schema for organizing data within a database, the SQL language used to retrieve and act on stored data, best practices for operating on a database and other applications for database beyond Ruruna's fruits biz. The apparent goal of the book is to build a rudimentary understanding of databases and their use. Overwhelmed by the demands of synchronizing fruit commodity prices across different departments, Princess Ruruna turns to a locked book containing a secret technology known as a "database." Once the book's seal is broken, the fairy Tico appears and sets about introducing the fundamentals of working with databases. This time around, we're dealing with Princess Ruruna, who, in the absence of the king and queen, is left to manage the Kingdom of Kod's key fruit industry. ![]() The strengths and disappointments noted in Statistics also apply to Databases. What I find telling about this series of Manga Guides is that my familiarity with the covered material did not alter my appreciation for the book. ![]() Unlike stats, a topic that I occasionally think about on a rudimentary level, I actually work with databases with some regularity and degree of sophistication. The difference this time around is more a function of what I bring to the examination than it is the subject of the review itself. Like the previously reviewed Manga Guide to Statistics, The Manga Guide to Databases offers the spoon full of cuteness to help the tech tutorial go down.
