We address some of these topics in this book, but not all—no single book can cover the entire realm of database technologies.
This book’s primary focus is to help you learn database fundamentals, develop your database design skills,
and master your SQL skills so you will have a head start in becoming a successful database professional. However,
you first must learn about the tools at your disposal. In the next chapter, you will learn different approaches to data
management and how these approaches influence your designs.
